Bromoacetic acid-1-13C
Bromoacetic acid-1-13C (CAS 57858-24-9) is a stable isotope-labelled organic acid with the linear formula BrCH2¹³CO2H and a molecular weight of 139.94 g/mol. This compound serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in research settings requiring isotopic tracing. Its applications span isotopic labelling studies, metabolic research, and the development of novel chemical entities where tracking carbon-13 incorporation is essential.

Isotopic Labelling Studies
Utilised in organic synthesis to incorporate the stable isotope carbon-13 into target molecules. This allows for detailed mechanistic studies and metabolic pathway analysis in biological systems.
Chemical Synthesis Intermediate
Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. The presence of the bromine atom and the ¹³C label makes it suitable for specific synthetic routes.
Metabolic Research
Employable in biochemical and metabolic research to trace the fate of carbon atoms within biological processes. The ¹³C label provides a distinct marker for analysis.
