About Arginine Impurity 20
Arginine Impurity 20 is a specified impurity of Arginine. It has no single publicly registered CAS number, so it is defined by the structure and molecular formula below.
The compound is characterised by its molecular formula C6H13N5O3 and a molecular weight of 203.2, with the two-dimensional structure shown above. Because it shares the Arginine scaffold, it is typically used to track process-related and degradation impurities of Arginine during method development, forced degradation and stability studies.
Computed from the structure, the compound has a monoisotopic mass of 203.1018 Da, a calculated LogP of -0.94, a topological polar surface area of 145.86 Ų. It presents 4 hydrogen-bond donors and 5 acceptors. The structure carries 1 defined stereocentre, which is relevant wherever a stereochemically defined standard is required. These values are commonly used to anticipate chromatographic retention and to plan ionisation conditions during method development.
Each pack ships with a certificate of analysis together with the supporting analytical data — HNMR, MS and HPLC or GC traces — so the material can be released straight into your own QC workflow.
Available from stock in milligram to gram quantities; larger or custom synthesis requirements are quoted on request.
