n-Butyl-1,1,2,2-d4 Alcohol

N-Butyl-1,1,2,2-d4 Alcohol, also known as n-Butanol-d4, is a deuterated form of n-butyl alcohol. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether. The chemical formula of n-Butanol-d4 is C4H9OD4, and it has a molecular weight of 85.17 g/mol. N-Butanol-d4 is commonly used as a solvent in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical synthesis. It is also used as a raw material in the production of butyl acrylate, butyl acetate, and glycol ethers. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a co-solvent in the formulation of oral and injectable drugs. It is also used in the production of fragrances and flavors in the cosmetic industry. The deuterated form of n-butanol is particularly useful in spectroscopy. Its deuterium atoms allow for more accurate and precise analysis of chemical structures and reactions using techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. N-Butanol-d4 is considered to be a relatively safe solvent with a low toxicity. It has a flash point of 35°C and a boiling point of 117°C. However, it should be handled with care and stored properly in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition.
