Acetaldehyde-1-13C,2-hydroxy- (9CI)

Description:

Acetaldehyde-1-13C,2-hydroxy- (9CI), with the CAS number 71122-42-4, is a stable isotopically labeled compound of acetaldehyde, where the carbon-1 atom is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon, making it a hydroxy derivative of acetaldehyde. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in water and organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. This compound is often used in research and analytical applications, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways and isotopic labeling. Its isotopic labeling allows for tracing and quantifying metabolic processes in biological systems. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
