Description

2-Methylimidazole-D5 is a deuterated analog of 2-methylimidazole, a versatile heterocyclic compound. This deuterium-labeled version is essential for advanced research and development, particularly in analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical studies where isotopic labeling is required. It serves as a critical building block and internal standard for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a deuterated internal standard in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and other analytical methods for accurate quantification and metabolic studies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or labeled precursor in the development and analysis of novel pesticides and herbicides.
• Material Science: Employed in the synthesis of specialized polymers, coordination compounds, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) where isotopic labeling is studied.
• Catalysis Research: Serves as a ligand or precursor in catalytic systems, with the deuterium label allowing for detailed mechanistic studies via techniques like NMR spectroscopy.
• Analytical Chemistry: Critical for method development and validation in labs requiring high-precision measurement of non-deuterated 2-methylimidazole.

Quality Control

Our 2-Methylimidazole-D5 is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical consistency. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity, and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. We support compliance with relevant research and development standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
