Description

Paraformaldehyde-D2 CAS NO 43094-80-0 is a deuterated polymeric form of formaldehyde, where hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, serving as a stable isotopic labeling reagent. This deuteration is critical for applications requiring enhanced spectroscopic resolution and reduced background interference in analytical techniques. It is an essential material for researchers and manufacturers in advanced pharmaceutical development, organic synthesis, and materials science, where precise molecular tracking and structural elucidation are paramount.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a deuterated internal standard or solvent for high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance studies.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in the synthesis of deuterated drug candidates for metabolic stability studies and pharmacokinetic (PK/ADME) profiling.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a source of deuterated formaldehyde units in the preparation of labeled complex molecules and intermediates.
• Polymer Science: Utilized in the development of deuterated polymers for neutron scattering experiments to study polymer dynamics and structure.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a reagent in mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy for method development and calibration.
• Isotope Labeling: A key starting material for introducing deuterium labels into a wide range of organic compounds for mechanistic studies.
