Bentazone-d₇ 

Bentazone-d₇ is the deuterium labeled Bentazone[1]. Bentazone is a post-emergence herbicide used for selective control of broadleaf weeds and sedges in beans, rice, corn, peanuts, mint and others. It acts by interfering with photosynthesis[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].
