Description

3-Methyloctane-D20 is a deuterated isotopologue of 3-methyloctane, where twenty hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This high isotopic purity compound is critical for applications requiring a non-exchangeable, stable isotopic label. It serves as an essential internal standard, tracer, and building block in advanced analytical and synthetic chemistry. Key industries that utilize this specialty chemical include pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and materials science for NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative GC-MS and LC-MS analysis in metabolomics and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Deuterated Tracer in reaction mechanism elucidation and metabolic pathway research.
• Building Block for the synthesis of more complex, labeled compounds in medicinal chemistry.
• NMR Solvent and Shift Reference in spectroscopic analysis, providing a non-interfering signal.
• Substrate in catalytic and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies to investigate reaction pathways.
• Component in the development and calibration of analytical instruments and methods.
• Precursor for labeled polymers or advanced materials requiring specific isotopic properties.
