Abstract:
Deuterated alcohols are valuable synthetic targets due to their roles in pharmaceuticals, materials, and mechanistic studies. Conventional homogeneous strategies for their synthesis, while effective, often require expensive ligands and offer limited catalyst recovery. Heterogeneous catalysis, by contrast, provides a robust and recyclable alternative with enhanced scalability. Recent advances in supported metal nanoparticles and single-atom catalysts (SACs) have enabled high-efficiency and site-selective deuteration of alcohols. This Perspective presents heterogeneous catalytic systems as evolving into scalable and efficient platforms for deuterated alcohol synthesis, opening new directions for sustainable isotope incorporation.

Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
