Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d3 | CAS 3814-93-5

Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d₃ | CAS: 3814-93-5

OVERVIEW

Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d3 | CAS 3814-93-5  is a high-purity, selectively deuterated analog of styrene designed for demanding analytical applications, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and mechanistic studies. In this compound, the α and both β hydrogens on the vinyl group are replaced with deuterium atoms (D), yielding a deuterium-labeled styrene that helps minimize proton background signals and improves spectral clarity in chemical investigations.

At ResolveMass, we produce Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d₃ to exacting standards for researchers in industry, academia, and contract research organizations (CROs). This product serves as a critical reagent for advanced analytical protocols and isotopic tracing studies.

APPLICATIONS  of  Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d3 | CAS 3814-93-5

Analytical & Spectroscopic Methods

Deuterium substitution significantly reduces proton signals in NMR spectroscopy, granting clearer observation of target analytes. Researchers use this compound to calibrate instruments, validate methodologies, or reduce spectral overlap.

In mass spectrometry, isotopically labeled standards like Deuterated Styrene-α,β,β-d₃ can help improve peak assignment, correct for matrix effects, and enable more precise quantitative interpretation.

Polymer Science

In polymer chemistry, styrene derivatives are often monitored during synthesis and mechanistic experiments. The deuterated analog provides a way to follow styrene incorporation and consumption in catalytic processes without interference from protio-styrene signals.

Mechanistic & Tracer Studies

Deuterium is heavier than hydrogen, which can subtly alter kinetic behavior. This “kinetic isotope effect” can be exploited to explore reaction pathways, transition states, and bond cleavage events.
