CAS 1859-08-1: ethyl-D5 alcohol

Description: Ethyl-D5 alcohol, also known as deuterated ethanol, is a stable isotopic variant of ethanol where five hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. Its chemical formula is C2D5OH, and it retains the fundamental characteristics of ethanol, including being a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor. Ethyl-D5 alcohol is commonly used in scientific research, particularly in NMR spectroscopy, as it serves as a solvent that provides a unique spectral signature due to the presence of deuterium. This isotopic substitution can help in studying reaction mechanisms and molecular dynamics without interfering with the hydrogen signals in the sample. Ethyl-D5 alcohol is miscible with water and other organic solvents, making it versatile in various chemical applications. Additionally, it has similar physical properties to regular ethanol, such as boiling and melting points, but may exhibit slight variations due to the presence of deuterium. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
