5-Amino-1MQ impurity profile
Every named species the index has reported alongside 5-Amino-1MQ, how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

1-methylquinolinium (des-amino, −15 Da)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- -0.32 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- -15.011 Da
- Reported in
- 75 of 78 records (96 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.14 %, max 1.24 %
- How it separates
- Baseline-resolved on the reference method.
8-amino regioisomer
- Retention offset from the main peak
- +0.22 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- mass-identical — chromatography only
- Reported in
- 74 of 78 records (95 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.08 %, max 0.82 %
- How it separates
- Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.
5-nitro-1MQ (unreduced precursor, +30 Da)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- +0.68 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- +29.974 Da
- Reported in
- 71 of 78 records (91 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.09 %, max 1.28 %
- How it separates
- Baseline-resolved on the reference method.
free iodide (counter-ion, by IC)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- 0.00 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- mass-identical — chromatography only
- Reported in
- 69 of 78 records (88 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.10 %, max 0.61 %
- How it separates
- Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.
Degradation pathways
Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.
- photodegradation of the quinolinium core
- iodide oxidation to iodine on light exposure — visible browning
