Electrochemical Reduction of Activated Olefins in Deuterated Solvents. II. A Regioselective Deuteriation Catalytic Process from alpha,beta-Ethylenic Aryl Sulfones.
摘要:
The title compounds were electrochemically reduced in aprotic dimethyl sulfoxide-d(6), acetonitrile-d(3), or organic solvents containing heavy water. When a catalytic amount of charge passed through the cell, alpha-deuteriation of olefins occurred in high yield. Since both chemical and electrochemically formed bases were found to be totally inefficient in the performance of such deuteriation, a radical chain process is tentatively proposed. During attempted total reduction of substrates, tetradeuteriated dimers were isolated, from which information on the reduction mode and coupling process can be obtained.
