Ethyl 3-Hydroxybutyrate-13C4 is a labeled version of ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate, where four carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This isotopic labeling is useful in metabolic studies, particularly for tracking the compound in biochemical pathways using techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The carbon-13 labeling allows researchers to monitor the metabolism and distribution of the compound with greater precision. Despite the isotopic substitution, it retains the chemical properties of the non-labeled ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate, making it valuable for research in biochemistry and pharmacology.
