One-pot H/D exchange and low-coordinated iron electrocatalyzed deuteration of nitriles in D2O to α,β-deuterio aryl ethylamines

Abstract: Developing a step-economical approach for efficient synthesis of α,β-deuterio aryl ethylamines (α,β-DAEAs) with high deuterium ratios using an easy-to-handle deuterated source under ambient conditions is highly desirable. Here we report a room-temperature one-pot two-step transformation of aryl acetonitriles to α,β-DAEAs with up to 92% isolated yield and 99% α,β-deuterium ratios using D2O as a deuterium source. The process involves a fast α-C − H/C − D exchange and tandem electroreductive deuteration of C ≡ N … Show more

“…In addition, introducing low-coordination sites into electrode materials is an e cient way to greatly increase the intrinsic activity of active sites by optimizing the local electronic properties. 31,[41][42] As Fig. 2d shows, the d band center of LC-Cu upshifts toward the Fermi level compared with coordination-saturated Cu (CS-Cu), which is conducive to enhancing the adsorption of AN and the related imine intermediate, thus observing greater adsorption energy (E ads ) of AN and imine on LC-Cu than those on CS-Cu (Fig.…”

“…Because the base-assisted H/D exchange of AANs with D 2 O is irrelevant to electrocatalysis, 19,20,31 the rate and FE of the whole reaction are highly dependent on the C≡N reductive deuteration step. Cu-based materials are widely studied as electrode candidates in electrocatalytic CO 2 and acetylene hydrogenation reactions.…”
