Description

1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene-3,6-D2 is a deuterated derivative of durene (1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene), where two hydrogen atoms at the 3 and 6 positions are replaced by deuterium. This isotopic labeling makes it a critical tool in advanced research and development, particularly in mechanistic studies and analytical chemistry. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for applications requiring stable isotope tracers, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Standard: Used as an internal standard or shift reference in deuterated NMR solvents due to its specific chemical shift.
• Mechanistic Reaction Studies: Acts as a deuterium-labeled probe to trace reaction pathways and kinetics in organic synthesis and catalysis research.
• Mass Spectrometry Internal Standard: Employed in quantitative MS analysis for method development and validation in pharmaceutical and environmental testing.
• Isotope Dilution Analysis: Serves as a precise quantitative standard in GC-MS and LC-MS for accurate measurement of analyte concentrations.
• Polymer & Material Science Research: Used in the study of polymer dynamics, degradation mechanisms, and the development of novel deuterated materials.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Potential application in biochemical research for tracking metabolic processes when incorporated into probe molecules.
