Fluorometholone Impurity 11 (CAS CATO-C4X-193311) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C26H33FO6 and a molecular weight of 460.54 g/mol.
Structurally, Fluorometholone Impurity 11 (C26H33FO6) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 460.54 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
