Chemical Structure

Biphenyl Impurity 1 CAS CATO-C4X-26291 chemical structure

Description

Biphenyl Impurity 1 (C18H20N2O2HCl) 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, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Biphenyl Impurity 1 (CAS CATO-C4X-26291) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H20N2O2HCl and a molecular weight of 332.83 g/mol.

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 Biphenyl Impurity 1 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.
