A synthetically convenient approach for the direct α-deuteration of amides is reported. This mechanistically unusual process relies on a retro-ene-type process, triggered by the addition of deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide to a keteniminium intermediate, generated through electrophilic amide activation. The transformation displays broad functional-group tolerance and high deuterium incorporation.

An efficient chemoselective reduction of isatin derivatives using catalyst B(CF), benzyldimethylsilane, and HO is described. Notably, a small amount of water is shown to be a highly effective reaction promoter that decreases the reaction time and temperature for the synthesis of indolin-3-ones. Moreover, using method, excellent deuterium incorporation is achieved the catalytic α-deuteration of indolin-3-ones using B(CF) and DO.
