L-Dehydro Ascorbic Acid-13C6 is an isotopically labeled form of L-dehydroascorbic acid, the oxidized form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). In this compound, all six carbon atoms are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope, making it particularly useful in metabolic and biochemical studies. The carbon-13 labeling allows for precise tracking and analysis using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, enabling researchers to study the metabolic pathways and mechanisms of vitamin C in biological systems. Despite the isotopic substitution, it retains the same chemical and biological properties as the non-labeled compound, making it valuable for detailed research in nutrition and biochemistry.
