Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates effective deuteration in aromatic hydrocarbons, suggesting a simple method for further studies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a method for efficient deuteration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons while minimizing hydrogenation.
  • Utilized Pt/C catalyst for H–D exchange;
  • Screened additives to identify decalin as a reaction modulator;
  • Performed reactions under optimized conditions (80°C, 12 h) with D2O as deuterium source.
  • Achieved ≤97% deuterium incorporation for anthracene;
  • Converted various fused PAHs to deuterated analogs with high yields;
  • Minimized the formation of partially hydrogenated byproducts.
