:Benzoic acid-alpha-13C (99atom% 13C)
Description:
Benzoic acid-alpha-13C (99 atom% 13C) is a stable isotopic variant of benzoic acid, where the carbon atom at the alpha position (adjacent to the carboxylic acid group) is labeled with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound retains the fundamental characteristics of benzoic acid, which is a colorless crystalline solid at room temperature, with a characteristic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope allows for applications in various analytical techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, facilitating the study of metabolic pathways and molecular interactions. The high isotopic purity (99 atom% 13C) ensures minimal interference from natural carbon isotopes, making it particularly useful in research settings. Benzoic acid itself is known for its antimicrobial properties and is commonly used as a preservative in food and beverages. The specific labeling with carbon-13 enhances its utility in tracing studies and metabolic research, providing insights into biochemical processes.
