The catalytic deuterodechlorination of aryl/heteroaryl chlorides was developed with a palladium/unsymmetrical NHC system, and the precisely controlled introduction of deuterium into a variety of aryl/heteroaryl compounds was achieved with a high level of efficiency, selectivity, and deuteration degree. This method was also successfully applied to the transformation of bioactive agents even in a gram-scale synthesis. The crystal structure analysis of Pd-NHC complexes led to the observation of Pd-arene interaction.
The nickel‐catalyzed deoxygenative deuteration of aryl/heteroaryl sulfamates has been developed, and the effective incorporation of deuterium into a variety of aromatic compounds was achieved with sufficient catalytic efficiency and high deuteration degree. This process tolerated reducible functional moieties and heterocyclic structures. Additionally, a double introduction of deuterium also successfully gave a desired product with a high yield and deuterium content.magnified image
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
