Use of trimethylsilyl derivatives in simple syntheses of deuteriated anilines, phenols, and benzenethiols
Abstract
Deuteriated anilines, XC6H4·ND2, phenols, XC6H4·OD, and benzenethiols, XC6H4·SD, of high isotopic purity have been obtained in excellent yield from deuteriomethanol, MeOD, and the appropriate trimethylsilyl derivatives, XC6H4·N(SiMe3)2, XC6H4·O·SiMe3, and XC6H4·S·SiMe3.
