Mild and Direct Multiple Deuterium‐Labeling of Saturated Fatty Acids

Abstract

Abstract We have established a mild and direct platinum on carbon (Pt/C)‐catalyzed multi‐deuterium labeling of various saturated fatty acids including bioactive compounds with high deuterium efficiencies in a mixed solvent of isopropyl alcohol and deuterium oxide ( i‐ PrOH)/D 2 O under neutral conditions at 120 °C without the external addition of deuterium or hydrogen gas. magnified image
