1-Methyl-2-nitro-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-B]pyridine-d3

1-Methyl-2-nitro-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-B]pyridine-d3, also known as MeNIPy-d3, is a deuterated derivative of the heterocyclic organic compound MeNIPy. It is used in various analytical applications, including mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and gas chromatography. MeNIPy-d3 is a labeled compound, which means that it contains a stable isotope of hydrogen (deuterium) instead of the more common protium. This provides a distinct advantage in analytical chemistry, as it allows for easier identification and quantification of the compound in complex mixtures. MeNIPy-d3 is primarily used as a reference standard in research and development of new analytical methods. In terms of its chemical properties, MeNIPy-d3 is a yellow crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C14H8D3N3O2. It has a molecular weight of 257.33 g/mol and a melting point of approximately 132-133°C. MeNIPy-d3 is a nitro-substituted imidazo[4,5-B]pyridine, which makes it structurally similar to other heterocyclic compounds that are known to have biological activity. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that MeNIPy-d3 has any specific biological activity or toxicity.
