propane-d6-1,3-diol CAS Number

Propane-d6-1,3-diol is a deuterated isotope-labeled form of 1,3-propanediol, a metabolic intermediate produced by microbial fermentation of glycerol. As a stable isotope tracer, it enables precise quantification and tracking of metabolic pathways involving glycerol conversion and diol synthesis in biochemical and bioprocessing studies. The parent compound participates in bacterial anaerobic metabolism through glycerol dehydratase and 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase pathways. ^[1]
