Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Uses
Acetone-d
6 may be used as a deuterated solvent in the
1H NMR spectral studies of iodine containing radiopaque poly(methacrylate)copolymers. It may also be used as a source of deuterium atoms in the synthesis of labelled sterols.
Uses
Acetone-d6 may be used as an internal standard to detect aldehydes and acetone in water by headspace-solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Uses
Isotope labelled Acetone is a common organic building block in organic chemistry.
Definition
ChEBI: A deuterated compound that is acetone in which all six hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium.
General Description
Acetone-d
6 can be prepared by reacting heavy water with propyne-d
4 in the presence of mercury catalyst.
