Description

1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene-D14 is a deuterated isotopologue of 1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene (durene), where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This compound is a critical internal standard and reference material for quantitative analysis using mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, ensuring high accuracy and precision in analytical workflows. It is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-purity isotopic labels for method development and validation.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used as a quantitative reference in GC-MS and LC-MS analyses to correct for instrument variability and sample preparation losses.
• NMR Spectroscopy Solvent & Reference: Serves as a deuterated solvent or chemical shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance studies.
• Metabolic and Pharmacokinetic Research: Employed as a stable isotope-labeled tracer in drug metabolism and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies.
• Environmental Analysis: Acts as a surrogate standard in the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other organic pollutants.
• Polymer and Materials Science: Utilized in research involving deuterated polymers to study molecular dynamics, structure, and morphology via techniques like neutron scattering.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Functions as a building block for synthesizing more complex deuterated compounds for research and development.
