Palladium-catalyzed H-D exchange reaction under hydrothermal condition
Alkenes and alkanes were converted into fully deuterium labelled ones by treatment with palladium on charcoal and deuterium oxide under hydrothermal condition. The simple method to get fully deuterium labelled compounds is easy to apply to various types of organic compounds.
