Dibromomethane-d2

Description:

Dibromomethane-d2, also known as deuterated dibromomethane, is a halogenated organic compound characterized by the presence of two bromine atoms and two deuterium atoms replacing the hydrogen atoms in the methane structure. Its molecular formula is CBr2D2, and it is a heavy isotopologue of dibromomethane, which is typically used as a solvent and in organic synthesis. The presence of deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, imparts unique properties, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, where it can enhance the resolution and sensitivity of the analysis. Dibromomethane-d2 is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, and it is denser than water. It is primarily utilized in research applications, including studies involving isotopic labeling and mechanistic investigations in organic chemistry. As with other halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential health and environmental hazards, including toxicity and the possibility of contributing to ozone depletion.
