Hazard information
Regulatory InformationAcetone-D6: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
Hazards SummaryAn irritant that may cause severe eye irritation; Vapors may cause dizziness or drowsiness; Targets the liver and kidney; [Sigma-Aldrich MSDS] See Acetone. See Deuterium.
UsesAcetone-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.
UsesAcetone-d6 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.
UsesIsotope labelled Acetone is a common organic building block in organic chemistry.
General DescriptionAcetone-d6 can be prepared by reacting heavy water with propyne-d4 in the presence of mercury catalyst.
Preparation methods · 1 item
PreparationDeuterated DMSO: DMSO is exchanged with heavy water in the presence of an alkaline catalyst (calcium oxide) to obtain DMSO-d6. This process needs to be repeated multiple times to obtain high-purity deuterated DMSO;ACETONE-D6: Acetone is exchanged with heavy water in the presence of an alkaline catalyst (LiOD) to obtain ACETONE-D6;Deuterated benzene: Benzene is exchanged with heavy water in the presence of a transition metal catalyst to obtain deuterated benzene;Deuterated tetrahydrofuran: Tetrahydrofuran is obtained by... It is prepared by exchanging heavy water under metal catalysis;Deuterated sodium hydroxide or deuterated potassium hydroxide can be prepared by reacting elemental metals with heavy water;Deuterium gas: Deuterium gas can be prepared by electrolyzing deuterated water;Lithium deuteride can be prepared by reacting metallic lithium with deuterium gas;Similarly, sodium deuteride can be synthesized by reacting metallic sodium with deuterium gas;With lithium deuteride, lithium aluminum deuteride is readily available. Deuterated lithium aluminum tetrahydrogen (lithium aluminum deuteride, LiAlD4) can be prepared by reacting lithium deuteride (LiD) with aluminum chloride.
