Sodium formate-d

Sodium formate-d is a deuterated version of sodium formate, functioning primarily as a stable isotope in biochemical assays. It serves as a deprotonating agent, facilitating the deprotonation of ligands such as 2-methylimidazole at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, sodium formate-d provides a critical reducing environment in the catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol by methane monooxygenase (sMMO), effectively inhibiting the further oxidation of methanol. This reagent is essential for various research applications in organic synthesis and catalysis studies.
