N-Desmethyl Clomipramine is a tricyclic amine derivative featuring a 10H-phenothiazine core substituted with a dichloroethyl side chain and a piperidine ring. The compound arises from N-demethylation of Clomipramine, resulting in a secondary amine at the piperidine nitrogen. Its structural features include a 2-chlorophenyl ring, a 3-chloropropyl chain, and a planar aromatic system. This impurity is utilized as an HPLC reference standard for quantifying Clomipramine degradation pathways in stability studies.
