Popis: | Reaction of benzenethiols and benzo[b]thiophene (BT) with D2O solutions of trichlorides of Ru, Fe or Cr at elevated temperatures (200–315°C) constitutes a simple method for the preparation of per-deuterated derivatives. Substitution patterns observed for partially deuterated products imply that D-incorporation occurs by standard electrophilic processes. Reactions with benzenethiols produced diaryl sulfides as by-products although these compounds were deuterated to the same extent as the thiols. Experimental observations and the known behaviour of aqueous transition metal species indicate that D+ is furnished by the hydrolysis of D2O molecules in the solvation sphere of the metal ion. Complete deuteration of the organosulfur substrates was achieved using a 100: 1 organosulfur/metal chloride mole ratio. Hydrodesulfurization of per-deuteroBT under standard conditions afforded perdeuteroethylbenzene in good yield. |
