Chemical Structure

Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Impurity 5 HCl CAS CATO-C4X-20935 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Impurity 5 HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-20935, C16H16N2O3HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Aminomethylbenzoic Acid Impurity 5 HCl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 320.77 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

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.
