Abstract

Isotopic labelling is an essential tool within the pharmaceutical industry for monitoring the metabolism of potential drug candidates; additionally, demand for deuterated compounds for use in mechanistic studies or as drug targets in their own right is ever-increasing.1 As such, the development of novel, mild, and efficient labelling techniques, which avoid the need for expensive deuterated starting materials, has been the focus of significant attention within the research community. Previous work within our laboratory has involved the development of a novel range of HIE catalysts of the type 1, bearing a combination of bulky phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands.
