Acetaldehyde-13C2, hydroxy- (9CI), with the CAS number 478529-69-0, is a stable isotopic variant of acetaldehyde, where the carbon atoms are labeled with the stable isotope carbon-13. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which classifies it as an alcohol. Acetaldehyde itself is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic pungent odor, and it is primarily used in the production of various chemicals, including acetic acid and other aldehydes. The presence of the hydroxyl group in this variant enhances its solubility in water and may influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Isotopically labeled compounds like Acetaldehyde-13C2 are valuable in research, particularly in metabolic studies and tracing experiments, as they allow scientists to track the pathways of carbon in biological processes. Overall, this compound retains the fundamental properties of acetaldehyde while providing unique advantages for analytical and experimental applications.
