3-Methylpentane-d14

3-Methylpentane-d14 is a deuterated form of 3-Methylpentane, a branched chain hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. The "d14" in the name indicates that this compound has been isotopically labelled with deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen. This labeling is useful for various applications of 3-Methylpentane, including in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceuticals. One major use of 3-Methylpentane-d14 is as a reference standard for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This technique is used to identify and analyze the molecular structure of organic compounds, and isotopically labelled compounds like 3-Methylpentane-d14 are commonly used as reference standards to calibrate NMR instruments and verify experimental results. In addition to its use as a reference standard, 3-Methylpentane-d14 is also used in the production of various chemicals and materials. For example, it can be used as a solvent in the manufacture of polymers and resins, and as a fuel additive to improve the combustion efficiency of gasoline. From a chemical perspective, 3-Methylpentane-d14 is an organic compound with a boiling point of 63-65°C and a melting point of -121°C. Its molecular weight is 98.23 g/mol, and it has a density of 0.698 g/mL at 20°C. Its chemical properties are similar to those of the non-deuterated 3-Methylpentane, but its isotopic labeling can affect its reactivity and other properties in certain reactions.
