Molecular Formula : C16H24N2.HCl Molecular Weight : 280.84 SpecificationsGradesIPBP/EPUSPDescription A White or almost white, crystalline powder; odorless or almost odorless.White to off-white, odorless crystalline powderWhite to off-white, odorless crystalline powderSolubility Freely soluble in Water, in alcohol and in methanol. Practically insoluble in etherSoluble in water, freely soluble in alcohol, Sparingly soluble in chloroform, practically insoluble in benzene and in etherSoluble in water, freely soluble in alcohol, Sparingly soluble in chloroform, practically insoluble in benzene and in etherIdentificationa) By IR (KBr)
IR spectrum of sample recorded as KBr should exhibit maxima and minima at the same wavelengths as that of the similar preparation of IR spectra of Xylometazoline Hydrochloride working standard.a) By IR
IR Spectrum of test sample is concordant with IR Spectrum of Xylometazoline Hydrochloride WS.a) By IR
IR Spectrum of test sample is concordant with IR Spectrum of Xylometazoline Hydrochloride WS.b) by UV
An absorbance should be maximum at about 265 nm and minimum at about 257 nm with two inflections at about 270 nm and 275 nm.
Absorbance at about 265 nm, about 0.5b) by TLC
The principle spot obtained in test solution is similar in position and size to the principle spot in the chromatogram obtained with Xylometazoline Hydrochloride WS.b) By TLC
The size ,intensity and Rf value of principal spot obtained from The test solution correspond to those of the principal spot obtained from the Xylometazoline Hydrochloride WS-solution.c) By chemical test
A violet color should produce.c) Melting Point
Melts at 300oC with decompositionc) Melting Point
Melts above 300oC with decompositiond) Test for Chloride
A curdy white precipitate should form, which settles in the test tube, indicating presence of chloride ions.--pH (5.0 % w/v solution in water)Between 5.0 to 6.6- Between 5.0 & 6.6Appearance of solution (5.0% in water)-5.0 % solution in water is clear-Acidity/Alkalinity-Not more than 0.2 ml 0.01 M NaOH is required. -N-(2-Aminoethyl)-4-tert butyl-2,6-xylylacetamide by TLCAny spot corresponding to N-(2-Aminoethyl)-4-tert butyl-2,6-xylylacetamide in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution should not more intense than the spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution (0.5%)--Related substances (%, by HPLC)
