Acetic acid-13C2,d4
Acetic acid-13C2,d4 (CAS 402835-82-9; linear formula ¹³CD₃¹³CO₂D; molecular weight 66.06) is a fully labelled stable-isotope form of acetic acid in which both carbon atoms are ¹³C and the methyl and acid hydrogens are deuterium. Supplied with high isotopic enrichment (99 atom % ¹³C, 98 atom % D), it is a corrosive, flammable liquid used chiefly as an internal standard and metabolic tracer in NMR, mass spectrometry and isotope-labelling research.

Internal standard for mass spectrometry
The M+6 mass shift separates this labelled acetic acid from its unlabelled counterpart, making it a useful internal standard for quantitative LC-MS and GC-MS. It supports accurate quantification of acetate and related analytes.
Stable-isotope tracer in metabolic studies
Dual ¹³C and deuterium labelling allows acetate uptake and incorporation to be traced through metabolic and biochemical pathways. It is applied in research on lipid, energy and intermediary metabolism.
NMR spectroscopy reference and probe
The ¹³C enrichment gives strong, well-defined NMR signals for use as a reference and in mechanistic and structural studies. It assists tracking of acetyl and acetate groups in labelled molecules.
Synthesis of isotopically labelled compounds
As a fully labelled C2 building block, it is used to prepare ¹³C- and deuterium-labelled acetyl derivatives and downstream reagents. This underpins the production of tracers and analytical standards.
