Sodium deuteride (Cat No.:M084331) is an inorganic compound where sodium is bonded with deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. This chemical serves as a strong base and a source of deuterium, making it valuable in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis where isotopic labeling is required. Sodium deuteride is used to introduce deuterium into molecular structures, facilitating the study of reaction mechanisms and molecular dynamics through techniques like NMR spectroscopy. Due to its highly reactive nature and sensitivity to moisture, handling sodium deuteride requires stringent safety measures, typically involving inert atmospheres.
