1,2-DICHLOROETHANE-D4 Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

1,2-Dichloroethane-d4 is widely used as a solvent for NMR analysis, and in the synthesis of poly(ethylene-d4 oxide) as a chain termination reagent.

Uses

1,2-Dichloroethane-d₄ may be used:

• As a NMR solvent.
• As a surrogate standard during the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in water by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
• As a chain termination reagent in the synthesis of poly(ethylene-d₄ oxide).

General Description

1,2-Dichloroethane-d₄ is 1,2-dichloroethane with all the hydrogen atoms replaced by deuterium. Its synthesis and structure elucidation by neutron diffraction measurements has been reported.
