Used as a labeled compound in research and development, particularly in the field of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It serves as an internal standard or reference material in analytical studies, such as mass spectrometry, to ensure accurate quantification and detection of related compounds. Its deuterated form enhances precision in metabolic and environmental fate studies, aiding in the understanding of degradation pathways and pharmacokinetics. This chemical is valuable in tracing and monitoring the behavior of similar non-labeled compounds in biological and environmental systems.
