Deuterium-labeled compounds find wide applications in kinetic studies, and within the pharmaceutical industry. An easily removable pyrimidine-based auxiliary has been employed for the meta-C-H deuteration of arenes. The scope of this Pd-catalyzed deuteration using commercially available [D ]- and [D ]-acetic acid has been demonstrated by its application in phenylacetic acid and phenylmethanesulfonate derivatives. A detailed mechanistic study led us to explore the reversibility of the non-rate determining C-H activation step. The present study of meta-deuterium incorporation illustrates the template morphology in terms of selectivity. The applicability of this method has been demonstrated by the selective deuterium incorporation into various pharmaceuticals.

We report herein the development of palladium-catalyzed deacylative deuteration of arylketone oxime ethers. This protocol features excellent functional group tolerance, heterocyclic compatibility, and high deuterium incorporation levels. Regioselective deuteration of some biologically important drugs and natural products are showcased via Friedel-Crafts acylation and subsequent deacylative deuteration.

Ruthenium-catalyzed aromatic H/D exchange in [D]acetic acid has been developed. By using -heteroarenes as directing groups, both and positions are selectively deuterated with high levels of D incorporation. Moreover, this strategy provides an alternative way to achieve -C-H activation.

Palladium-catalyzed meta-selective C-H deuteration of a series of substrates, including phenylacetic acids, hydrocinnamic acid, benzylphosphonate, benzylsulfonate, and benzyl and phenyl ethyl alcohol ester, is developed by using a pyridine-based directing template. The template is installed into the substrate through a practical ester linkage. Under mild reaction conditions, a variety of phenylacetic acids containing alkyl, methoxyl, and halo substituents are compatible in the reaction, resulting in high levels of D-incorporation at the meta position.
