Chemical Structure

Oxazepam impurity 6 CAS CATO-C4X-30906 chemical structure

Description

Oxazepam impurity 6 (CAS CATO-C4X-30906) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16ClN3O2 and a molecular weight of 341.79 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H16ClN3O2, Oxazepam impurity 6 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 341.79 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
