| In the past we have shown that organic molecules can be deuterated by catalytic transfer hydrogenation using Raney nickel and 2-propanol-d8 as the source of deuterium. We have now extended this work to the deuteration of aromatic compounds via the hydrogenolysis of aryl chlorides using 10% Pd on carbon and 2-propanol-d8 as the source of deuterium. Results on the catalytic transfer deuteration (CTD) of a number of aryl chlorides will be presented. The extent of deuteration was determined by gc/ms. |
