The ruthenium-catalysed selective synthesis of mono-deuterated terminal alkynes

Abstract

We report an efficient catalytic method for the synthesis of mono-deuterated terminal alkynes directly from deuterium oxide, catalysed by a Ru(II) pincer complex in which the reaction proceeds via Ru–acetylide intermediates and amine–amide metal–ligand cooperation.
