Description

Benzyl-Alpha,α-D2 Alcohol is a deuterium-labeled derivative of benzyl alcohol, where two hydrogen atoms at the alpha position are replaced with deuterium (D). This isotopic labeling makes it a critical tool compound for research and development in analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. It is primarily used as an internal standard, tracer, or precursor in the synthesis of labeled compounds for mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic studies. This high-purity material is essential for scientists and manufacturers in pharmaceutical R&D, contract research organizations (CROs), and advanced material science sectors requiring precise isotopic purity.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for the accurate quantification of benzyl alcohol and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a stable isotopic tracer in pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies to track the fate of molecules within biological systems.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Employed as a deuterated reagent or shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to elucidate molecular structure and dynamics.
• Precursor for Labeled Compound Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterium-labeled pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Aids in the identification and characterization of process-related impurities and degradation products during drug development and quality control.
• Research in Reaction Mechanisms: Utilized in mechanistic studies to investigate kinetic isotope effects (KIE) and understand detailed reaction pathways in organic and catalytic chemistry.
