Description

Sodium Deuteride is a deuterated inorganic compound, serving as a powerful base and a versatile source of deuterium in synthetic chemistry. Its core value lies in enabling precise deuterium labeling, which is critical for mechanistic studies, spectroscopic analysis, and the development of deuterated pharmaceuticals. This reagent is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require high-purity deuterium incorporation.

Application

• Deuterium Labeling Agent: A key reagent for the synthesis of deuterium-labeled compounds used in NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and reaction mechanism elucidation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the preparation of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to potentially improve metabolic stability, pharmacokinetics, and bioavailability.
• Strong Base in Organic Synthesis: Employed as a non-nucleophilic base for deprotonation reactions in sensitive organic transformations, particularly where protiated bases like NaH are unsuitable.
• Deuterium Gas Generation: Acts as a convenient solid-source precursor for generating deuterium gas (D₂) upon controlled hydrolysis for hydrogenation/deuteration processes.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized in creating deuterated analogs of pesticides and herbicides for environmental fate and metabolic pathway studies.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Applied in the synthesis of deuterated polymers for neutron scattering experiments to study polymer structure and dynamics.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Deuteride is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high chemical purity and isotopic enrichment. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay (NaD content), deuterium enrichment level, and impurity profiles. We adhere to rigorous internal quality standards to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical research and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and reactive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from moisture, acids, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
