ETHANOL-D is a deuterated NMR solvent,it can be prepared by reacting tetraethylorthosilicate with deuterium oxide.

General Description

Ethan(ol-d) (ethanol-d, ethanol-d₁) is a deuterated NMR solvent useful in NMR-based research and analyses. It can be prepared by reacting tetraethylorthosilicate with deuterium oxide. The hydrogen bonding in ethanol-d₁ has been investigated based on Raman spectral data. The far infrared (FIR) spectrum of ethanol-d₁ has been studied using ab initio calculations.
