Synthesis of Different Deuterated Carboxylic Acids from Unsaturated Acids Promoted by Samarium Diiodide and D2O
摘要:
An easy, and rapid reduction of the C=C bond of alpha,beta-unsaturated acids by means of samarium diiodide in the presence of D2O provides an efficient method for synthesizing 2,3-dideuterio acids. Starting from alka-2,4-dienoic acids, (E)-alpha,delta-dideuterio-betagamma-unsaturated acids are obtained, the new C=C bond being generated with complete diastereoselectivity. When H2O is used instead of D2O, saturated carboxylic acids and (E)-beta,gamma-unsaturated acids are isolated. A mechanism to explain each synthesis has been proposed.
