Myristic-13C Acid - Introduction
Myristic acid-1-13C, also known as Myristic acid-1-13C, is a Myristic acid compound containing the 13C isotope. Myristic acid is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in animal and vegetable fats and oils.
The chemical properties of Myristic acid-1-13C are similar to those of naturally occurring Myristic acid, but there is an extra neutron on carbon 13. It is a white solid, odorless and insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform.
The main application of Myristic acid-1-13C is as a label compound in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Its 13C isotope labeling can be used to study the metabolic processes and reaction mechanisms of organic compounds.
The preparation method of Myristic acid-1-13C is usually by reacting 13C isotope-labeled sodium cyanide with N-tridecanol under alkaline conditions, and acidification is used to obtain Myristic acid-1-13C.
Regarding safety, Myristic acid-1-13C has low toxicity and is generally considered safe. However, as a chemical, it still needs to be handled properly. When in use, it is recommended to wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid inhalation, contact with skin and entering eyes.
