Description

Methanol-D CAS NO 1455-13-6 is a deuterated isotopologue of methanol, where the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring non-exchangeable deuterium atoms, providing enhanced spectral properties and stability in analytical and synthetic processes. It is an essential reagent for researchers and industries engaged in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, organic synthesis, and the development of deuterated pharmaceuticals and materials.

Application

• As a deuterated solvent for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, providing a non-protonated signal for accurate structural analysis of organic compounds.
• As a key starting material or reagent in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds for use in metabolic studies, tracer analysis, and pharmaceutical research.
• In the manufacturing of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to study drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and to improve drug stability.
• For use in Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a calibration standard or matrix due to its distinct spectral signature.
• In organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and semiconductor research for developing deuterated materials that enhance device performance and longevity.
• As a specialty solvent in advanced chemical research and development where isotopic purity is required to avoid kinetic isotope effects.

Quality Control

Our Methanol-D is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure the highest isotopic and chemical purity for research and industrial applications. Each batch is analyzed to confirm compliance with critical parameters, including deuterium content and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99.8 atom % D), assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
