Propionic-1-^13C acid, also known as ^13C-labeled propionic acid, is a stable isotope-labeled derivative of propionic acid, which is a short-chain fatty acid with the molecular formula C3H6O2. The presence of the ^13C isotope indicates that one of the carbon atoms in the molecule is replaced with the heavier carbon-13 isotope, making it useful in various analytical applications, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and metabolic studies. Propionic acid itself is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, and it is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether. It is commonly used as a preservative in food and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals. The isotopic labeling allows for tracking metabolic pathways and studying biochemical processes in research settings. Propionic-1-^13C acid retains the characteristic properties of propionic acid while providing unique insights into its behavior in biological systems due to the distinct nuclear magnetic properties of the ^13C isotope.
