Description

1-Methyl(2,2,3,3,4,4-2H6)cyclopentane is a deuterated analog of methylcyclopentane, where six hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium. This compound is a critical tool in advanced research and analytical chemistry, serving as a non-radioactive isotopic tracer and an internal standard for mass spectrometry. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for metabolic studies, reaction mechanism elucidation, and precise quantitative analysis.

Application

• As a deuterated internal standard for the accurate quantification of methylcyclopentane and related compounds via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
• As a tracer molecule in mechanistic studies of organic reactions and catalytic processes, including hydrogenation and isomerization.
• In the synthesis of deuterium-labeled pharmaceutical intermediates for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) research.
• For use in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent or shift reference in specific experimental setups.
• In material science for investigating polymer dynamics and the behavior of hydrocarbons in confined systems.
• As a specialty reagent in the development and calibration of analytical instruments and methodologies.

Quality Control

Every batch of our deuterated chemicals is produced and analyzed under strict quality control protocols to ensure isotopic and chemical purity meets the exacting standards of research and industry. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D atom %), chemical purity by GC, and identity confirmation. Our quality system is designed to support GLP/GMP-compliant research where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Ensure containers are properly sealed to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
