Acetanilide D6

Acetanilide D6 is a deuterated derivative of acetanilide, a widely used organic compound in the chemical industry. Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, and Acetanilide D6 is created by replacing six hydrogen atoms in acetanilide with deuterium atoms. This labeling technique is commonly used in research to study chemical reactions and biological processes. Acetanilide D6 is mainly used as a reference standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This technique is used to identify and analyze the molecular structure of organic compounds. By comparing the NMR spectrum of acetanilide D6 with that of other compounds, researchers can determine the chemical shifts and coupling constants of the protons and carbons in the molecule. In addition to its use as a reference standard in NMR, Acetanilide D6 has potential applications in drug discovery and development. Acetanilide derivatives have been shown to exhibit a range of biological activities including analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The deuterated version of acetanilide may have improved pharmacokinetic properties, such as increased bioavailability and reduced toxicity, compared to the non-deuterated compound. The chemical formula of Acetanilide D6 is C8D6H8NO, and its molecular weight is 136.22 g/mol. It has a melting point of 114-116°C and a boiling point of 304°C. Acetanilide D6 is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in ethanol and methanol but insoluble in water. It is stable under normal conditions but may react with strong oxidizing agents.
