Description

Ethylene-D4 Oxide CAS NO 6552-57-4 is a deuterated analog of ethylene oxide, where all four hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium. This stable isotope-labeled compound is critical for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking is required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for use as an internal standard, tracer, or precursor in synthesis.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Essential for quantitative analysis in GC-MS and LC-MS to ensure accuracy and reproducibility in complex matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research to study drug metabolism and enzymatic reaction mechanisms using deuterium NMR.
• Polymer Science Research: Acts as a deuterated monomer for synthesizing labeled polymers to study polymer dynamics, structure, and degradation via neutron scattering techniques.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Studies: Serves as a probe in kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies to elucidate reaction pathways and transition states in organic and organometallic chemistry.
• Deuterated Reagent Synthesis: A key starting material for the preparation of other deuterium-labeled fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Environmental Fate Studies: Employed as a tracer to monitor the environmental transport and breakdown of ethylene oxide and related compounds.
