Description

Acrylonitrile (1-13C) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of acrylonitrile, where the carbon atom at the 1-position is the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced research and analytical applications requiring precise molecular tracking and quantification. It is primarily utilized by scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries for metabolic studies, NMR spectroscopy, and as an internal standard in mass spectrometry.

Application

• Used as a stable isotope-labeled internal standard for the accurate quantification of acrylonitrile and its metabolites in complex matrices via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Critical in NMR spectroscopic studies to elucidate reaction mechanisms, polymer microstructure, and metabolic pathways due to the distinct 13C signal.
• Employed in pharmaceutical research for tracing the metabolic fate and pharmacokinetics of drug candidates and related nitrile compounds.
• Facilitates environmental and toxicological research by enabling precise tracking of acrylonitrile exposure and degradation products.
• Serves as a specialized monomer in the research and development of labeled polymers and copolymers (e.g., ABS, SAN) for studying material properties and degradation.
• Applied in agrochemical research for investigating the environmental behavior and metabolic pathways of nitrile-containing pesticides.
