Deuteration of Arenes via Pd-Catalyzed C–H Activation – A Lesson in Nondirected C–H Activation, Isotopic Labelling and NMR Characterization
Fritz Deufel,
Manuel van Gemmeren
Abstract:Isotopic labelling is an important tool in medicinal research, metabolomics, and for understanding reaction mechanisms. In this context, transition metal catalyzed C–H activation has emerged as a key technology for deuterium incorporation via hydrogen isotope exchange. A detailed and easy-to-implement experimental procedure for a nondirected arene deuteration has been developed that exclusively uses commercial equipment and chemicals. The protocol is ideally suited for students and other prospective applicants… Show more
