Chloroform-d Usage And Synthesis

Water peak

The position of the water peak in different deuterated reagents is not the same. The water peak of heavy water is about 4.67 ppm. There is a trend that the more water the low field.
Chloroform-D is less soluble with water and the water content is low, so its water peak near 1.59 ppm. Deuterated acetone is about 2.8 ppm and the deuterated dimethylsulfoxide has a water peak of about 3.4 ppm. If water is added to deuterated acetone, the water peak will gradually move to a low field and eventually stop at about 4.7 ppm.

Application

Reagents for nuclear magnetic instruments

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Chloroform-d is widely used in the organic solvent for the NMR analysis.

Uses

Chloroform-d may be used in the synthesis of dichlorofluoromethane-d (DCFM).

Uses

Labelled Chloroform, generally in trimethylsilane solution, used in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent. Unlabelled chloroform has been used an an anaesthetic due to its action on the central nervous system .

Definition

ChEBI: Deuterated chloroform is a deuterated compound that is an isotopologue of chloroform in which the hydrogen atom is replaced with deuterium. Commonly used as a solvent in proton NMR spectroscopy. It has a role as a non-polar solvent, a NMR solvent and a NMR chemical shift reference compound. It is a deuterated compound and a member of chloromethanes.

General Description

Chloroform-d (Deuterochloroform, CDCl₃), deuterated chloroform, is a 100% isotopically enriched NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) solvent. It is widely employed in high resolution NMR studies due to its high chemical and isotopic purity. Quantitaive infrared spectral investigations of carbon-deuterium stretching bands of chloroform-d in various organic solvents have been reported. Raman difference spectroscopic studies of mixtures of chloroform-d and liquid chloroform have been conducted to evaluate frequency shifts in the in the ν₁ and ν₂ bands of CHCl₃ and CDCl₃.
