Cover Feature: Deuterium Exchange between Arenes and Deuterated Solvents in the Absence of a Transition Metal: Synthesis of D‐Labeled Fluoroarenes (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 22/2020)
Abstract:The Cover Feature shows the selective and convenient deuteration of fluoroarenes carried out using a common deuterated solvent, such as [D6]‐acetone, [D6]‐DMSO or D2O, in the presence of carbonate or phosphate. A player represents this combination of base and solvent that touches the fluoroarene and effectively kicks off the deuteration process. This method has left other players in the field, that have had a role in this transformation for very specific cases, on the bench. Main‐group elements, used for this … Show more
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.
