Abstract:
Labelling of amino-acids is important for the production of deuterated proteins. However, aromatic amino-acid reduction is a common undesired process with noble-metal nanocatalysts. In this work, we describe a new NHC-stabilized water-soluble Pd/Ni system able to perform H/D exchange reactions in an enantiospecific fashion without reducing the aromatic ring of phenylalanine and tyrosine thanks to a synergetic Pd-Ni effect.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
