Dihexa impurity profile
Every named species the index has reported alongside Dihexa, 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.

des-hexanoyl (−98 Da)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- -2.42 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- -98.074 Da
- Reported in
- 34 of 35 records (97 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.06 %, max 0.45 %
- Resolution requirement
- Baseline-resolved on the reference method.
free acid (+1 Da)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- +0.26 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- +0.984 Da
- Reported in
- 27 of 35 records (77 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.06 %, max 0.47 %
- Resolution requirement
- Close-eluting — resolution below 1.2 is common and the peaks merge on short gradients.
[D-Ile]-epimer
- Retention offset from the main peak
- -0.14 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- mass-identical — chromatography only
- Reported in
- 27 of 35 records (77 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.04 %, max 0.18 %
- Resolution requirement
- A gradient long enough to separate it. No mass spectrometer will.
hexanoyl bis-adduct (+98 Da)
- Retention offset from the main peak
- +2.30 min on RG-2
- Mass difference
- +98.074 Da
- Reported in
- 19 of 35 records (54 %)
- Level when reported
- median 0.06 %, max 0.52 %
- Resolution requirement
- Baseline-resolved on the reference method.
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.
- hexanoyl amide hydrolysis
- C-terminal amide hydrolysis
