Regioselective hydrogen isotope exchange reaction in benzoic acid and its alkali metal salts

  • 1. Chiba Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Description

The hydrogen isotope exchange reaction of benzoic and acid its alkali metal salts with deuterium oxide was studied in the presence of RhCl3·3H2O. The products were analyzed by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopies. High regioselectivity of the exchange at the ortho positions was established, and the extent of deuterium labeling and the distribution of d0, d1, and d2 were determined. The reaction mechanism was briefly discussed. (author)
