Description

2,3-Butane-1,1,1,4,4,4-D6-Diol is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled derivative of butanediol, a critical building block in organic synthesis. This compound is essential for research and development in analytical chemistry, serving as a stable internal standard for mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. It is primarily used by pharmaceutical researchers, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers requiring precise isotopic labeling for metabolic studies, reaction mechanism elucidation, and quality control.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides a non-interfering, isotopically labeled reference for the accurate quantification of butanediol and related metabolites in complex biological matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reagent: Used as a deuterated solvent or a labeled reagent to simplify spectral interpretation and track molecular pathways in reaction studies.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: A key intermediate in the synthesis of deuterated drug candidates for improved metabolic stability and pharmacokinetic profiling.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables detailed investigation of biochemical pathways in plant, microbial, and mammalian systems without isotopic interference.
• Polymer Science Research: Acts as a labeled monomer or chain extender for creating deuterated polymers to study morphology, dynamics, and structure via neutron scattering techniques.
• Environmental & Forensic Analysis: Employed in method development for the sensitive detection and confirmation of glycols and their derivatives in environmental and forensic samples.

Quality Control

Our 2,3-Butane-1,1,1,4,4,4-D6-Diol is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, meeting the stringent requirements of advanced research. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity, and identity confirmation via NMR and MS. We adhere to a rigorous quality management system, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project needs upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation by moisture absorption.
