Chemical Structure

Tretinoin Impurity 31 CAS CATO-C4X-196931 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Tretinoin Impurity 31 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Tretinoin Impurity 31 (CAS CATO-C4X-196931), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H24O2, MW 236.35 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Tretinoin Impurity 31 (C15H24O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
