Description

(2E)-Hexadecenal(D5) is a deuterated analog of the naturally occurring insect pheromone component, (2E)-hexadecenal. This high-purity, isotopically labeled compound is critical for research and development requiring precise molecular tracking and analysis. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the agrochemical, flavor & fragrance, and life science sectors for advanced analytical and synthetic applications.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used as a stable isotope-labeled standard for the accurate quantification of its non-deuterated counterpart in complex biological or environmental matrices via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Pheromone Research & Development: Serves as a key tracer molecule in studies investigating the biosynthesis, metabolism, and ecological role of insect pheromones.
• Metabolic Pathway Tracing: Enables detailed mapping of metabolic pathways and degradation studies in entomology and environmental science.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a specialized building block for the synthesis of more complex deuterated compounds for research purposes.
• Flavor and Fragrance Analysis: Employed in analytical methods to study the formation and stability of aldehydic flavor compounds.

Quality Control

Every batch of (2E)-Hexadecenal(D5) is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure high isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm deuteration level and isomeric purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and maintain stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
