Octanoic Acid-d2 is widely used in research and development, particularly in the field of analytical chemistry. Its deuterated form makes it a valuable internal standard in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies, ensuring accurate quantification and identification of compounds in complex mixtures. In metabolic studies, it helps trace biochemical pathways and understand lipid metabolism due to its stable isotope labeling. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of labeled compounds for pharmaceutical and biochemical research, aiding in drug development and safety testing. Its applications also extend to the study of fatty acid behavior in biological systems, providing insights into cellular processes and energy metabolism.
