Description

1,1,6,6-D4-1,6-Hexandiol CAS NO 6843-76-1 is a deuterium-labeled analog of 1,6-hexanediol, a valuable diol building block. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for research and development where precise molecular tracking and analysis are required. It is primarily needed by the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries for applications in analytical chemistry, metabolic studies, and as a tracer in polymer science.

Application

• Internal Standard for Quantitative Analysis: Used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard in GC-MS and LC-MS for the accurate quantification of 1,6-hexanediol and related metabolites in complex biological or environmental matrices.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Serves as a deuterium tracer in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to elucidate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiles of compounds.
• Polymer Research: Employed in the synthesis of deuterated polymers for neutron scattering studies to investigate polymer chain dynamics, morphology, and phase behavior without contrast matching issues.
• NMR Spectroscopy: Acts as a useful probe or solvent shift reagent in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy due to the distinct resonance of deuterium atoms.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Functions as a specialized building block for synthesizing deuterium-labeled complex molecules, fragrances, and liquid crystals where isotopic purity is critical.

Quality Control

Our deuterated chemicals are produced and tested under stringent quality protocols to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch of 1,1,6,6-D4-1,6-Hexandiol is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity (by HPLC/GC), and identity confirmation (by NMR, IR). We adhere to cGMP principles for research-grade materials to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide.
