“…38 Consequently, it is a common strategy to introduce deuterium atoms into drug candidates, which might provide a good chance to tune their properties of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Therefore, the development of efficient deuteration approaches under mild conditions has drawn huge attention in recent years, which has been well reviewed by Xie, 38 Beller, 39 Maiti, 40 Su, 41 Zhou, 42 and Tan, 43 respectively.…”

“…The presence of deuterium (D) can alert the pharmacokinetic pro les, reduce the dose, and lower the lethality of drugs due to the more stable C-D bond than the C-H bond. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the rst deuterated drug, deutetrabenazine (Austedo™), for an enhanced treatment of the Huntington's disease compared with its unlabeled version of tetrabenazine (Fig. 1a).…”

Electrochemical deuteration utilizing D2O is a promising room-temperature strategy for synthesizing deuterated molecules. At present, high Faradic efficiencies (FEs) at high reaction rates are extraordinarily significant but highly challenged. Here, high-curvature low-coordinated copper nanotips (LC-Cu NTs) are designed to enable electroreductive deuteration of α-deuterio aryl acetonitriles, in situ generated from fast α-H/D exchange of acetonitriles in D2O, to α,β-deuterio arylethyl primary amines with 90% FE and 0.11 mmol h-1 cm-2, greatly outperforming the reported data and other Cu counterparts. The increased electric fields of the nanotips concentrate nitriles and K+(D2O)n, and low-coordination sites promote nitriles and D2O adsorption, thus facilitating nitrile deuteration with an excellent reaction rate. The higher coupling energy barrier of active hydrogen atoms at low-coordination sites restricts the D2 evolution, accounting for the outstanding FE. The wide substrate scope, easy gram-scale synthesis, and facile preparation of d4-melatonin with enhanced antitumor and antioxidation effects highlight its great promise. Furthermore, the application of LC-Cu NTs in other deuteration reactions with improved reaction rates and FEs rationalizes the design concept.

“…The integration of deuterium atoms into organic molecules is a crucial area of research for the synthetic and medicinal industries. [ 1‐5 ] Generally, substituting hydrogen with deuterium can enhance pharmacokinetics, augment active metabolites, impede the conversion between chiral drug isomers, and obstruct drug‐drug interactions. Deuterium atoms also serve as prevalent tracers for elucidating drug metabolism pathways.…”

Comprehensive SummaryA deuterated methylthiolating reagent with a broad spectrum, designated as DMTP, has been ingeniously formulated. This new reagent can be produced with high efficiency through the simple combination of commercially available methyl 3‐thiopropanoate and CD3I. This novel SCD3 reagent exhibits excellent reactivity with electrophiles such as alkyl iodides, benzyl chlorides, aryl halides (I, Br) and aryl triflates, resulting in high levels of deuterium content (99% D). Representative deuterated methylthiolated biomolecules, such as Sulfoxaflor, have been synthesized for use in pharmaceutical discovery and development.This article is protected by copyright.
