Acetone-d6 is a deuterated NMR solvent containing 1% (v/v) TMS (tetramethylsilane). It is useful in NMR-based research and analyses. The Infrared and Raman spectra of acetone-d6 have been analyzed. Pyrolysis and photolysis of acetone-d6 and methane mixtures have been investigated as a function of temperature. It has been reported to be prepared by reacting heavy water with propyne-d4 in the presence of mercury catalyst.
