Ethanol-d6

Description:
Ethanol-d6, also known as deuterated ethanol, is a stable isotopic variant of ethanol where six hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. Its chemical formula is C2D6O, and it retains the same functional properties as regular ethanol, being a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor. Ethanol-d6 is primarily used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a solvent due to its ability to provide a deuterated environment, which minimizes interference in NMR spectra. This isotopic substitution enhances the sensitivity and resolution of NMR experiments, making it valuable in various fields, including organic chemistry and biochemistry. Ethanol-d6 is miscible with water and organic solvents, similar to its non-deuterated counterpart. It is important to handle it with care, as it is flammable and should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition. Overall, ethanol-d6 serves as a crucial tool in analytical chemistry and research applications.
