Description

tert-Butyl-D9 Methyl Ether is a deuterated isotopologue of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), where nine hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This high isotopic purity makes it an invaluable internal standard and tracer in advanced analytical chemistry, particularly for mass spectrometry and NMR studies. It is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental, and petrochemical industries requiring precise quantification and metabolic pathway analysis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS): Used for the accurate quantification of MTBE and related compounds in complex matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Serves as a deuterated solvent or a probing molecule in mechanistic and structural studies.
• Environmental Analysis & Forensics: Acts as a stable isotopic tracer to study the fate, transport, and biodegradation of fuel oxygenates in groundwater and soil.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to track labeled compounds.
• Petrochemical Research: Used in catalytic studies and reaction mechanism elucidation involving ether synthesis and cleavage.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Functions as a specialized building block for synthesizing other deuterated compounds.

Quality Control

Our tert-Butyl-D9 Methyl Ether is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, meeting the exacting requirements for analytical standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for assay, isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
