About Piperitone

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Piperitone, an API impurity reference standard registered under CAS number 89-81-6. The compound has the formula C10H16O, corresponding to a molecular weight of 152.23 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 3-methyl-6-propan-2-ylcyclohex-2-en-1-one. Alternative names: 3-Carvomenthenone and p-Menth-1-en-3-one.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Pharmaceutical QC and development laboratories use this impurity standard of the parent drug substance to develop and validate HPLC methods, to set specification limits and to document impurity profiles in ANDA and DMF submissions. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Piperitone in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
