Description

1,4-Benzoquinone-D4 CAS NO 2237-14-1 is a deuterium-labeled analog of 1,4-benzoquinone, a fundamental quinone compound. This stable isotope-labeled version is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides a reliable reference for the accurate quantification of unlabeled 1,4-benzoquinone in complex biological or environmental samples.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Used as a deuterated tracer to investigate reaction mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and molecular dynamics without spectral interference from protons.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies to trace the fate of quinone-based drug candidates.
• Environmental and Toxicological Analysis: Serves as a critical standard for monitoring quinone pollutants and understanding their degradation and toxicological profiles.
• Chemical Synthesis Research: Acts as a labeled building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for research purposes.
• Material Science: Used in foundational research on charge transport and redox properties in quinone-based polymers and energy storage materials.

Quality Control

Our 1,4-Benzoquinone-D4 is produced under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical integrity, meeting the exacting requirements of analytical research. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic purity (D-content), chemical purity, and identity confirmation. We adhere to relevant industry standards for stable isotope-labeled compounds, ensuring reliable and reproducible performance in your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). As a strong oxidizer, keep away from heat, sparks, and incompatible materials such as reducing agents. Handle and store under an inert atmosphere if prolonged storage is required to minimize potential degradation.
