Description

Methyl-D3 Formate CAS NO 23731-39-7 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of methyl formate, where three hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium (D). This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by analytical chemists and researchers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and environmental science sectors for use as an internal standard, tracer, or reagent in mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides a reliable reference for the accurate quantification of methyl formate and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracer: Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to study metabolic processes and reaction mechanisms.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent/Reagent: Serves as a deuterated solvent or reagent to eliminate interfering proton signals and simplify spectral analysis.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a labeled building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds in research and development.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed as a tracer to investigate the degradation, transport, and transformation of formate esters in environmental systems.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Critical for developing and validating sensitive analytical methods in regulatory and quality assurance laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Methyl-D3 Formate is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the stringent requirements of research and analytical applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically >99 atom % D), chemical purity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
