Description

1,2,4,5-Tetramethylbenzene-D14 is a deuterated isotopologue of durene, where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, resulting in high isotopic purity. This compound is essential as a stable, non-radioactive isotopic tracer and an internal standard in quantitative mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is critically needed by researchers and analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for precise metabolic studies, reaction mechanism elucidation, and method development.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used for accurate quantification in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses due to its distinct mass shift.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Tracer: Serves as a deuterated solvent or chemical shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance studies.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: Acts as a stable isotopic label to trace the fate of aromatic compounds in biological and environmental systems.
• Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism Studies: Employed to investigate reaction pathways and intermediates in organic synthesis and catalysis.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Used as a probe or label in the study of polymer dynamics, diffusion, and structural characterization.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradants.
• Environmental Fate Analysis: Tracks the degradation and transformation of hydrocarbon pollutants in environmental samples.
