Ethyl acetoacetate-¹³C₄ 

Ethyl acetoacetate-¹³C₄ is the ¹³C labeled Ethyl acetoacetate[1]. Ethyl acetoacetate (Ethyl acetylacetate) is an ester widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of many varieties of compounds[2][3][4]. Ethyl acetoacetate is an inhibitor of bacterial biofilm[5].

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].
