AI Article Synopsis

  • A mix of hexamethyldisilane and deuterium oxide acts as a reagent to transfer deuterium into alkynes.
  • In the presence of a small amount of a palladium complex, this reaction selectively produces (E)-1,2-dideuterioalkenes.
  • The process goes through the intermediate (Z)-isomer before yielding the desired product.

Article Abstract

A combination of hexamethyldisilane and deuterium oxide was found to work as a deuterium transfer reagent for alkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a palladium complex to give (E)-1,2-dideuterioalkenes selectively through the corresponding (Z)-isomer.

General and Practical Potassium Methoxide/Disilane-Mediated Dehalogenative Deuteration of (Hetero)Arylhalides.

Herein we describe a general, mild and scalable method for deuterium incorporation by potassium methoxide/hexamethyldisilane-mediated dehalogenation of arylhalides. With CDCN as a deuterium source, a wide array of heteroarenes prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bearing diverse functional groups are labeled with excellent deuterium incorporation (>60 examples). The ipso-selectivity of this method provides precise access to libraries of deuterated indoles and quinolines.
