Chemical Structure

HydroquinoneImpurity 7 CAS CATO-C4X-25987 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of HydroquinoneImpurity 7 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

HydroquinoneImpurity 7 (CAS CATO-C4X-25987) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H18O2 and a molecular weight of 218.29 g/mol.

HydroquinoneImpurity 7 (C14H18O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 manufactures HydroquinoneImpurity 7 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
