Description

3,4-Dimethoxy[7-13C]-Benzaldehyde is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (veratraldehyde), where the carbon atom at the 7-position is enriched with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is a critical building block for the synthesis of isotopically labeled compounds used in advanced research and analytical applications. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical chemistry sectors who require precise molecular tracking and quantification.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a key labeled precursor in the synthesis of deuterated or carbon-13 labeled drug candidates and metabolites for pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and mass spectrometry studies.
• Analytical Chemistry & Metabolomics: Used as an internal standard in quantitative Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to ensure accurate measurement of veratraldehyde and related compounds in complex biological or environmental matrices.
• Mechanistic & Pathway Studies: Enables the tracing of metabolic pathways and reaction mechanisms in chemical and biochemical research due to the non-radioactive, stable isotopic label.
• Agrochemical Development: Employed in the synthesis of labeled pesticides or herbicides to study their environmental fate, degradation pathways, and residue analysis.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a useful probe or starting material for the synthesis of more complex molecules for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis, leveraging the carbon-13 label.
