Chemical Structure

Phytomenadione/Vitamin K1 Impurity 80 CAS CATO-C4X-220780 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Phytomenadione/Vitamin K1 Impurity 80 (CAS CATO-C4X-220780), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H12O4, MW 244.24 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Phytomenadione/Vitamin K1 Impurity 80 (C14H12O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
