General description

1,4-Dioxane-d8 is a deuterated derivative of 1,4-dioxane. It has an isotopic purity of 99atom%D. It is a standard purity solvent suitable for routine NMR analyses (conducted at ambient temperatures where quality is less critical). It is widely employed as a deuterated standard. It participates as a surrogate standard during the activated carbon SPE (solid-phase extraction) and GC-MS-SIM (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode) quantification of 1,4-dioxane in drinking water.

Application

  • Neutron Scattering of Residual Hydrogen in 1,4-Dioxane-d8 Liquid: Understanding Measurements with Molecular Dynamics Simulations: This study utilizes 1,4-Dioxane-d8 to enhance neutron scattering measurements, providing crucial data for researchers in material science and analytical chemistry on solvent behavior and molecular interactions (de Almeida et al., 2016).
  • Biodegradation of 1,4-dioxane and transformation of related cyclic compounds by a newly isolated Mycobacterium sp. PH-06: This research highlights the degradation pathways of 1,4-Dioxane-d8, contributing to environmental sciences by offering insights into bioremediation techniques that mitigate solvent impact (Kim et al., 2009).
  • Degradation of 1,4-dioxane and cyclic ethers by an isolated fungus: Explores the fungal degradation of cyclic ethers, including 1,4-Dioxane-d8, underscoring its significance in environmental cleanup and testing standards for academic and pharmaceutical research on organic pollutant breakdown (Nakamiya et al., 2005).
