Organophotocatalytic α-deuteration of unprotected primary amines <i>via</i> H/D exchange with D₂O.

ABSTRACT: We report a straightforward H/D exchange method for the synthesis of α-deuterated primary amines from a diverse set of primary amines with high levels of deuteration and chemo- and site selectivity and preparative utility. This cost-effective strategy enables the direct conversion of primary amines to α-deuterated counterparts using D₂O as the deuterium source under mild reaction conditions without requiring additional functionality manipulation and with minimal byproduct production.
