Description

1-Bromohexane-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled analog of 1-bromohexane, where the carbon-1 position is enriched with the 13C isotope. This precise labeling is critical for applications requiring high sensitivity and specificity in analytical detection and metabolic pathway tracing. It is an essential building block for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require isotopically labeled intermediates for synthesis, quantification, and mechanistic studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a labeled precursor in the synthesis of 13C-labeled drug candidates for pharmacokinetic (PK) and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies.
• Analytical Chemistry & Mass Spectrometry: Serves as an internal standard for the accurate quantification of 1-bromohexane and related compounds via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), improving analytical precision.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in biochemical research to trace carbon flow in metabolic and biodegradation studies, providing insights into reaction mechanisms.
• Agrochemical Development: Utilized in the synthesis of isotopically labeled pesticides or herbicides for environmental fate and residue analysis studies.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a 13C-labeled alkylating agent for introducing a labeled hexyl group into more complex molecular architectures in research-scale synthesis.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Functions as a useful standard or reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy due to its distinct 13C signal.
