Description

2-Methyl-2,4-Pentane-D12-Diol is a deuterated analog of the common solvent hexylene glycol, where twelve hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring enhanced spectroscopic resolution and stability, such as in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in advanced material science, metabolic studies, and the development of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent: Serves as a deuterated solvent for high-resolution NMR analysis, providing a non-interfering signal background.
• Deuterated API Synthesis: Acts as a key building block or solvent in the synthesis of deuterium-labeled pharmaceutical compounds to improve metabolic stability and pharmacokinetics.
• Polymer & Material Science Research: Used in studies investigating polymer dynamics, degradation pathways, and the effects of isotopic substitution on material properties.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Employed as a tracer in mass spectrometry and NMR-based studies to elucidate biochemical pathways and mechanisms.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Functions as a precursor for other deuterated specialty chemicals and fine chemicals used in advanced research.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity, isotopically labeled standard for quantitative analysis and method validation in various analytical techniques.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-2,4-Pentane-D12-Diol is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm deuterium enrichment and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect isotopic purity and analytical performance.
