:ethylene-13C2 oxide
Description:
Ethylene-13C2 oxide, also known as 1,2-epoxyethane-13C2, is a stable cyclic ether characterized by its three-membered ring structure containing an oxygen atom and two carbon atoms, both of which are isotopically labeled with carbon-13. This compound is a derivative of ethylene oxide, which is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature and pressure. Ethylene-13C2 oxide is primarily used in research and analytical applications, particularly in studies involving isotopic labeling and tracing in organic synthesis and metabolic pathways. Its reactivity is typical of epoxides, allowing it to undergo ring-opening reactions in the presence of nucleophiles, which can lead to the formation of various functionalized products. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope can be advantageous for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, enabling detailed structural analysis. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health hazards upon exposure, necessitating appropriate handling and storage protocols in laboratory settings.
