The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicine detection, and particularly discloses a method for detecting related substances of an
eszopiclone intermediate YZ2, which comprises the following steps of: preparing a
test solution: taking a proper amount of
eszopiclone intermediate test, and dissolving the
eszopiclone intermediate test with
acetonitrile to a constant volume; an
impurity positioning solution: taking proper amounts of reference substances of impurities C, H and N, and respectively dissolving the reference substances with
acetonitrile to a constant volume; the determination method comprises the following steps: respectively and precisely measuring the
test solution and the three
impurity positioning solutions, injecting into a high performance liquid chromatograph, and recording chromatograms; and carrying out peak positioning on the three impurities according to the chromatogram of the
impurity positioning solution, analyzing the chromatogram of the
test solution, and calculating according to a
peak area normalization method to obtain the content of each related substance in the eszopiclone intermediate. According to the present invention, the
high performance liquid chromatography is adopted, and the contents of the effective components and the impurities in the eszopiclone intermediate are analyzed, such that the purity of the eszopiclone intermediate can be monitored, the quality can be ensured, and the production process can be evaluated.
