Description

tert-Butyl Methyl-D3 Ether CAS NO 29366-08-3 is a deuterated isotopologue of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), where three hydrogen atoms on the methyl group are replaced by deuterium. This isotopic labeling makes it an invaluable internal standard and tracer in analytical chemistry, particularly for mass spectrometry, enabling precise quantification and metabolic pathway studies. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and analytical laboratories focused on environmental monitoring, fuel additive research, and advanced pharmacokinetic investigations.

Application

• Internal Standard for GC/MS and LC-MS Analysis: Used as a deuterated standard for the accurate quantification of MTBE and related compounds in environmental, fuel, and biological samples.
• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Employed in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to track the metabolic fate and distribution of ether compounds in biological systems.
• Fuel and Petrochemical Research: Serves as a labeled compound in studies investigating the behavior, degradation, and environmental impact of oxygenated fuel additives.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Acts as a deuterated solvent or reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for structural analysis.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Used in specialized synthetic routes where a deuterated tert-butoxy or methoxy group is required to introduce isotopic labels into target molecules.
• Environmental Fate and Transport Studies: Applied in research modeling the movement and breakdown of ether-based compounds in soil and groundwater.

Quality Control

Our tert-Butyl Methyl-D3 Ether is produced under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity suitable for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic purity (D-enrichment), chemical purity by GC, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for research chemicals, ensuring reliable and reproducible performance in your laboratory.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider using sealed containers under an inert atmosphere to maintain purity and prevent moisture ingress.
