Description

Heptanoic-2,2-D2 Acid CAS NO 64118-38-3 is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled derivative of heptanoic acid, specifically deuterated at the 2-position. This isotopic labeling is critical for applications requiring precise molecular tracking and analysis, offering enhanced stability and distinct spectroscopic properties. It is an essential compound for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require labeled intermediates for metabolic studies, NMR spectroscopy, and the synthesis of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy & Analytical Standards: Serves as an internal standard or a chemical shift reference in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies due to its distinct deuterium signature.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a stable, isotopically labeled building block in the synthesis of deuterated drug candidates for pharmacokinetic and metabolic pathway studies.
• Metabolic Tracing: Employed in biochemical research to trace the metabolic fate of fatty acids and related compounds in biological systems.
• Deuterated Material Synthesis: A key precursor for manufacturing deuterated polymers, liquid crystals, and other advanced materials where isotopic purity affects physical properties.
• Agrochemical Research: Utilized in the development and analysis of labeled pesticides or herbicides to study environmental degradation and plant uptake.
• Mass Spectrometry: Functions as a standard in quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) for accurate calibration and measurement.
