The Preparation of Alpha and Beta Indanol and Some of Their Derivatives from Indene^1,2

Facile and Convenient Method of Deuterium Gas Generation Using a Pd/C‐Catalyzed H2–D2 Exchange Reaction and Its Application to Synthesis of Deuterium‐Labeled Compounds

“…The dehalogenation of aromatic chlorides and bromide efficiently proceeded with an excellent D content by the addition of 1.2 equivalents of triethylamine (entries 1-5, Table 4), [25] and the coexisting olefin functionality within the molecule underwent the quantitative deuterogenation (entries 3 and 4, Table 4). The Pd/C-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of epoxides regioselectively proceeded [26] with an efficient deuterium incorporation (entries 5 and 6, Table 4). The deuterogenolysis of benzyl alcohol and ester smoothly proceeded to provide the corresponding deuterated and deoxygenated products ([D]-20 and [D]-21, respectively; entries 7 and 8, Table 4).…”
