Description

Lithium Aluminum Deuteride is a specialized deuterated reagent, serving as a powerful and selective reducing agent in synthetic chemistry. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce deuterium atoms into organic molecules, a critical process for creating isotopically labeled compounds. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require high-purity deuterated intermediates for applications in drug development, metabolic studies, and NMR spectroscopy.

Application

• Selective reduction of carbonyl groups, esters, and epoxides with deuterium incorporation.
• Synthesis of deuterium-labeled active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies.
• Preparation of deuterated standards and reagents for quantitative mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.
• Manufacturing of deuterated organic compounds for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other advanced electronic materials.
• Deuterium labeling in agrochemical research to trace metabolic pathways and environmental fate.
• Reductive deuteration in fine chemical synthesis for specialty polymers and ligands.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Aluminum Deuteride is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and isotopic purity verification. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, deuterium content, and key impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive, hygroscopic, and moisture-sensitive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as acids, water, and oxidizing agents.
