Alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides (ATACs) are widely utilized as cationic surfactants in various scientific fields. Furthermore, deuterium‐incorporated compounds can be powerful tools for elucidating the complicated morphologies of molecules with high molecular weights. Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), as a representative ATAC, underwent the regioselective multi‐deuteration of alkylamine moiety, except for α and β‐positions. Deuteration was performed under Pt/C and Ru/C‐catalyzed conditions in 2‐PrOH and D2O. The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) revealed the specific signals of multi‐deuterated DTAC in the silent region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
