Triacetonamine-d17

Triacetonamine-d17 is the deuterium labeled Triacetonamine[1]. Triacetonamine is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceutical products, pesticides and photostabilizers for polymers. Triacetonamine is an artifact of plant and fungal extracts using acetone and ammonium hydroxide or natural occurrence of ammonium salts in various steps of the isolation procedures. TAA is the main component of the pyrolysis oil[2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
