PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Deuterated 4-Hydroxystyrene-α,β,β-d3 | CAS 2628-17-3 is a high-purity isotopically labeled organic compound designed for advanced research, analytical reference standards, and specialized synthesis applications. In this molecule, three hydrogen atoms located at the α and β positions relative to the vinyl group have been selectively replaced with deuterium — the stable heavy isotope of hydrogen. This strategic labeling provides distinct spectroscopic signatures that support precise qualitative and quantitative analysis in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and other tracer-based analytical techniques.
The deuterium substitution increases molecular mass in a predictable way without significantly altering the chemical structure or reactivity of the base molecule. As such, Deuterated 4-Hydroxystyrene-α,β,β-d3 serves as an indispensable tool in research areas including mechanistic studies, metabolic tracing, and calibration of analytical instrumentation.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
High Isotopic Purity
ResolveMass Laboratories ensures rigorous control over deuterium incorporation. High isotopic enrichment yields clear, interpretable analytical data and minimizes spectral overlap from protium (¹H) signals in deuterium-sensitive detection methods.
Analytical Reliability
Deuterated compounds such as this one are widely employed as internal standards in quantitative mass spectrometry assays due to consistent mass differences from non-labeled analytes. This facilitates accurate quantitation in complex sample matrices.
NMR Performance
The specific deuterium labeling significantly reduces proton signals at the labeled positions in ¹H NMR spectra, simplifying spectral interpretation and enhancing resolution of neighboring resonances. This makes the product ideal for structural confirmation, peak assignment, and kinetic studies.
Versatile Research Applications
Whether used as a tracer for reaction pathways, metabolic studies, or as a standard for instrument calibration, Deuterated 4-Hydroxystyrene-α,β,β-d3 supports a broad range of scientific investigations in academic, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories.
