Environmentally friendly and highly efficient synthesis of α-deuterated amines is achieved via a concise electrochemical process using DO as deuterium source without any external reductants or catalysts. Various imines are compatible, affording the desired products in high yields and D-incorporation. Gram-scale synthesis and flow-cell electrochemistry technology are used to synthesize deuterated pharmaceutical amines and their intermediates. Mechanistic studies reveal a plausible process, including the formation of carbanion species followed by deuterium atom transfer.
通过使用重水(DO)作为氘源的简洁电化学过程,在无任何外部还原剂或催化剂的情况下,实现了环境友好且高效的α-氘代胺的合成。各种亚胺均适用,能以高产率和高氘掺入量得到所需产物。采用克级合成和流通池电化学技术来合成氘代药物胺及其中间体。机理研究揭示了一个合理的过程,包括碳负离子物种的形成以及随后的氘原子转移。
