Used as a deuterated internal standard in analytical chemistry, particularly in mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. Its primary application is in the accurate quantification of bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate and related phthalate esters in environmental, biological, and industrial samples. The deuterated labels enhance detection specificity by providing a distinct mass signature, minimizing interference from matrix components. It is especially valuable in metabolic studies and toxicology screening where precise measurement of phthalate exposure is required.
