Description

n-Butane-2-D1 is a deuterated derivative of n-butane, specifically labeled with a deuterium atom at the 2-position. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring precise molecular tracking and reduced metabolic interference in research environments. It serves as an essential building block and tracer in advanced chemical synthesis and analytical methodologies. Key industries that utilize this specialty chemical include pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and materials science for NMR spectroscopy and mechanistic studies.

Application

• As a deuterated internal standard in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for quantitative analysis.
• A labeled precursor in the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
• Used in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent or tracer to study reaction mechanisms and molecular structures.
• Application in fundamental research on reaction kinetics and isotope effects in organic chemistry.
• Potential use in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other electronic materials where isotopic purity can influence performance.
• Employed in metabolic pathway tracing studies within biological and environmental research.

Quality Control

Our n-Butane-2-D1 is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity for research applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity, and impurity profile. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemicals, and custom specifications for specific research or synthesis needs can be accommodated upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, this product is typically supplied in a sealed, pressurized cylinder or ampule. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Cylinders should be secured upright to prevent damage.
