Abstract

A modification of the high temperature-dilute acid (HTDA) method for deuterium labelling of aromatic compounds has been applied to the HD exchange of a number of cyclic and acyclic alkenes. Cyclopentene, cyclohexene, cyclododecene, and tetramethylethylene have been completely exchanged in excellent yield. 1-Methylcyclopentene and 1- methylcyclohexene have also been perdeuterated and cycloheptene and cyclooctene ...
