Chemical Structure

Imidacloprid impurity 3 CAS CATO-C4X-25413 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Imidacloprid impurity 3 (CAS CATO-C4X-25413), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H21ClN8O2, MW 404.85 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Imidacloprid impurity 3 (C17H21ClN8O2) contains a steroid core, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
