OVERVIEW
Deuterated 4-Methyl-d3 styrene | CAS 622-97-9 is a strategically labeled variant of 4-methyl styrene in which three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group are replaced with deuterium (D), a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotopic modification enhances the compound’s utility as an internal standard in analytical applications, particularly in mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
As a specialized deuterated monomer, it serves as an essential reference compound for precise quantitation, structural elucidation, and reaction monitoring in advanced chemical research and quality control laboratories. ResolveMass Laboratories Inc. offers this product with rigorous isotopic and chemical purity to support demanding analytical workflows.

APPLICATIONS of Deuterated 4-Methyl-d3 styrene | CAS 622-97-9
Deuterated 4-Methyl-d₃ Styrene is widely employed in research and industrial contexts where accurate identification and quantification of organic compounds are critical.
Analytical Standards in Mass Spectrometry
In quantitative mass spectrometry, deuterated compounds act as internal standards that co-elute with target analytes but are distinguishable by their mass shift. The deuterium label in 4-Methyl-d₃ Styrene provides a predictable +3 Da mass increase over the non-labeled form, facilitating:
-
Accurate quantification using isotope dilution analysis
-
Compensating for matrix effects and ionization variability
-
Enhanced sensitivity in trace analysis
NMR Spectroscopy
While deuteration typically reduces ^1H NMR signal intensity at labeled sites, deuterated standards are valuable for simplifying spectra and improving signal assignment:
-
Reduction of proton peak congestion
-
Use as an internal reference in deuterated solvents
-
Determination of structural features without proton-proton coupling interference
Polymer Chemistry Research
4-Methyl Styrene derivatives are monomers used in specialty polymer synthesis. The deuterated form can be used to:
-
Trace monomer incorporation in copolymers
-
Study reaction kinetics without altering chemical behavior significantly
-
Investigate degradation pathways using stable isotopic labeling
Metabolic and Mechanistic Studies
Stable isotopes like deuterium serve as tracers in mechanistic investigations:
-
Tracking reaction pathways in catalytic systems
-
Studying polymerization mechanisms
-
Investigating metabolic transformations in model systems
