Chloroform-d (Deuterochloroform, CDCl3) is a deuterated derivative of chloroform. It contains 1%(v/v) TMS (Tetramethylsilane, added as a stabilizer). Quantitative infrared spectral investigations of carbon-deuterium stretching bands of chloroform-d in various organic solvents have been reported. Raman difference spectroscopic studies of mixtures of chloroform-d and liquid chloroform have been conducted to evaluate frequency shifts in the in the ν1 and ν2 bands of CHCl3 and CDCl3.
Application：
Chloroform-d has been used as the deuterated solvent for the NMR spectral studies of the corresponding chiral derivatives of β-aminopropanoic acid containing the α-phenylethyl group, which serve as useful starting materials for the asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acids.
