Naphthalene-d8 is a deuterium-labeled version of naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon commonly used as a solvent and in the synthesis of various chemicals. The deuterium labeling at eight positions enhances its utility in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy by improving sensitivity and accuracy. This labeled naphthalene is valuable for studying the behavior of aromatic compounds, investigating reaction mechanisms, and tracking molecular interactions. It is also used in environmental and materials research to analyze the distribution and transformation of aromatic hydrocarbons.
