Description

1-Bromohexadecane-D33 is a deuterium-labeled analog of 1-bromohexadecane, a key alkylating agent and synthetic intermediate. This high-purity, isotopically enriched compound is essential for research requiring precise molecular tracking and quantification, particularly in mass spectrometry. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications in metabolic studies, chemical synthesis, and as an internal standard.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used as a quantitative reference standard in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses due to its isotopic purity and predictable fragmentation pattern.
• Deuterium-Labeled Synthetic Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block for the synthesis of deuterated surfactants, lipids, polymers, and pharmaceutical compounds for metabolic and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies.
• Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: Acts as a long-chain alkylating agent in organic synthesis to introduce the hexadecyl (cetyl) group into target molecules.
• Phase-Transfer Catalyst Research: Employed in the development and study of quaternary ammonium compounds and other phase-transfer catalysts.
• Surface Chemistry & Material Science: Used to create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and modify surface properties of materials.
• Tracer Studies: Facilitates mechanistic studies in organic chemistry and reaction pathway analysis due to its non-radioactive, stable isotopic label.
