Chemical Structure

Clofazimine Impurity 18 CAS CATO-C4X-207118 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clofazimine Impurity 18 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

CATO supplies Clofazimine Impurity 18 (CAS CATO-C4X-207118), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H8ClN3O3, MW 277.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Clofazimine Impurity 18 (C12H8ClN3O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
