Description

2-Isobutyl-3-Methoxy-D3-Pyrazine is a deuterated isotopologue of a key aroma compound, specifically engineered for advanced analytical and research applications. This compound matters for its role as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard, enabling precise quantification and trace analysis in complex matrices. It is primarily needed by flavor and fragrance chemists, analytical laboratories, and research institutions focused on food science, environmental analysis, and metabolic studies.

Application

• As a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for the accurate quantification of 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• In flavor and fragrance research for studying the release, perception, and metabolism of key pyrazine aroma compounds.
• For food and beverage analysis, particularly in wine, coffee, and vegetable quality control to measure "green" or "bell pepper" notes.
• Use in environmental testing to trace and quantify pyrazine compounds in air, water, or soil samples.
• Application in pharmaceutical research for investigating drug metabolism where pyrazine structures are relevant.
• Supporting academic and industrial R&D in synthetic chemistry and isotope labeling methodologies.

Quality Control

Our deuterated standards are produced under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical integrity, critical for reliable analytical results. Each batch is characterized by NMR and Mass Spectrometry to confirm the deuteration level and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (e.g., D3, atom % D), chemical purity by HPLC/GC, and spectroscopic data is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential cross-contamination. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen.
