Description

Formic Acid-D2 is the deuterated isotopologue of formic acid, where the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This compound is essential for advanced research and development, particularly in mechanistic studies and spectroscopic analysis where isotopic labeling is required. It is a critical reagent for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and analytical chemistry sectors who require high-purity, isotopically-labeled building blocks.

Application

• NMR Spectroscopy: Used as a deuterated solvent or an internal standard in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis.
• Mechanistic Studies: Employed as a tracer in chemical reaction mechanisms to elucidate pathways in organic synthesis and catalysis.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a labeled precursor in the synthesis of deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies.
• Mass Spectrometry: Utilized as a reference standard or reagent in mass spectrometry for accurate quantification and method development.
• Deuterium Labeling: A key starting material for introducing deuterium atoms into more complex organic molecules.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental reagent in research laboratories for exploring isotope effects and developing new synthetic methodologies.

Quality Control

Our Formic Acid-D2 CAS NO 920-42-3 is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to verify deuterium enrichment and the absence of critical impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for isotopic purity, chemical assay, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable and consistent performance in your sensitive applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and its high volatility, containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to minimize potential oxidation.
