Phenylbutyrate Impurity 16 CAS CATO-C4X-258316 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Phenylbutyrate Impurity 16 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.

Phenylbutyrate Impurity 16 (CAS CATO-C4X-258316) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O4 and a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol.

Phenylbutyrate Impurity 16 (C13H18O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
