Site-selective deuterium labeling of the tetrabutylammonium cation
摘要:
Four separate selectively deuterated samples of tetrabutylammonium iodide have been prepared in which each one of the four nonequivalent alkyl carbons is separately and fully deuterated. These samples were prepared for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the aggregation of ion pairs in low polarity solvents.

We report a convenient and cost-effective protocol for the regioselective deuteration of primary and secondary alcohols using Earth abundant homogeneous first row transition metal pincer catalysts. D2O is utilized as both a deuterium source and a solvent, allowing for a benign inexpensive process. Depending on the metal selected (Mn or Fe), a high degree of deuterium incorporation was observed selectively

3/2) organometallic iron(I) complex is a catalyst for the isomerization of alkenes. A combination of experimental and computational mechanistic studies supports a mechanism in which alkene isomerization occurs by the allyl mechanism. Importantly, while substrate binding occurs on the S = 3/2 surface, oxidative addition to an η1-allyl intermediate only occurs on the S = 1/2 surface. Since this spin state
低配位、高自旋 (S = 3/2) 有机金属铁 (I) 配合物是烯烃异构化的催化剂。实验和计算机制研究的结合支持了一种通过烯丙基机制发生烯烃异构化的机制。重要的是,虽然底物结合发生在 S = 3/2 表面,但对 η1-烯丙基中间体的氧化加成仅发生在 S = 1/2 表面。由于这种自旋态变化只有在烯烃底物结合时才有可能,由于高自旋态的反键相互作用,催化剂对典型的 σ 碱毒物表现出高度的免疫力。

α-Linolenic acid ((Z,Z,Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoic acid) is biosynthesized by a series of regio- and stereoselective dehydrogenation reactions which are catalyzed by a set of enzymes known as fatty acid desaturases. As part of ongoing research into the mechanism of these remarkable catalysts, we have examined the cryptoregiochemistry (site of initial oxidation) of extraplastidial ω − 3 desaturation as it occurs in the commercially important plant Brassica napus (oilseed rape or canola). The individual deuterium kinetic isotope effects associated with the C–H bond cleavages at C-15 and C-16 of a thiaoleoyl analogue were measured using a convenient in vivo yeast expression system. Competition experiments using appropriately deuterium-labelled 7-thia substrates revealed a large kinetic isotope effect (KIE) (kH/kD = 7.5 ± 0.4)
for the C–H bond-breaking step at C-15 while the C–H bond cleavage at C-16 was found to be insensitive to deuterium substitution (kH/kD = 1.0 ± 0.14). These results point to C-15 as the site of initial oxidation in ω − 3 desaturation since the first chemical step in this type of reaction is rupture of a strong, unactivated C–H bond—an energetically difficult process which typically exhibits a large KIE.

transmetallation and Pd‐catalyzed Negishi coupling reactions afforded 1,1‐diaryl or 1,3‐diaryl allenes with high selectivity. Deuterium‐labeling cross experiments indicated that an intermolecular lithiation process occurred in both 1,3‐lithium shift conditions (conditions B and D). 1‐Arylalka‐1,2‐diene was confirmed experimentally to be the intermediate.
