CAS 1184-59-4: PROPENE-2-D1

Description:Propene-2-D1, also known as 2-deuteropropene, is an isotopically labeled derivative of propene, where one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This compound has the molecular formula C3H5D and is characterized by its unsaturated hydrocarbon structure, featuring a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms. The presence of deuterium alters some physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, compared to its non-deuterated counterpart. Propene-2-D1 is primarily used in research and analytical chemistry, particularly in studies involving reaction mechanisms and kinetics, as well as in NMR spectroscopy, where the deuterium label can provide valuable information about molecular dynamics. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor in the synthesis of various organic compounds. As with many hydrocarbons, it is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in a controlled laboratory environment.
