Description

Butane-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of n-butane, where the carbon atom at the 1-position is the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications requiring precise molecular tracing. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and pharmaceutical developers engaged in metabolic studies, environmental tracing, and NMR spectroscopy. The high isotopic purity and defined chemical structure make it a critical tool for quantitative analysis and mechanistic investigations.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses for accurate measurement of butane and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Serves as a crucial probe in 13C NMR studies for elucidating molecular structures, reaction mechanisms, and dynamics in chemical and biochemical systems.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed in biomedical and environmental research to track the fate and transformation of carbon atoms in biological systems or ecosystems.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Used to investigate reaction pathways, intermediates, and kinetics in catalytic and synthetic organic chemistry.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Applied in atmospheric chemistry and pollution studies to model the behavior and degradation of volatile organic compounds.
• Calibration and Method Development: Essential for developing and validating sensitive analytical methods in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental testing laboratories.
