Abstract

A practical and efficient H/D exchange method for selective deuteration of terminal alkynes was disclosed. The reaction was simply performed with CF3COOAg as catalyst at room temperature, affording products with high level of deuterium incorporation. The excellent site-selectivity and promising functional group tolerance of this protocol enabled deuteration of pharmaceuticals and nature product derivatives.
