Description

n-Butyraldehyde-D8 is a deuterated isotopologue of n-butyraldehyde, where eight hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This high-purity labeled compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracking and quantification are required. It is primarily utilized by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for use as an internal standard in mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Provides a stable, non-interfering reference for the accurate quantification of n-butyraldehyde and related metabolites in complex biological and environmental matrices.
• NMR Spectroscopy Studies: Used as a deuterated solvent or tracer in nuclear magnetic resonance to elucidate molecular structures and reaction mechanisms without proton signal interference.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables detailed investigation of biochemical pathways and degradation processes in pharmaceutical and toxicological research.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Assists in the identification and quantification of process-related impurities and degradants during drug development and manufacturing.
• Chemical Reaction Mechanism Analysis: Serves as a labeled starting material or intermediate to study kinetics and intermediates in catalytic and synthetic organic chemistry.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Tracks the environmental dispersion and breakdown of butyraldehyde compounds in ecological and regulatory science.

Quality Control

Every batch of n-Butyraldehyde-D8 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including NMR and GC/MS analysis, to ensure compliance with the stringent requirements for isotopic labeling and research-grade chemicals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically >98 atom % D), chemical purity, and specific tests are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is highly volatile and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
