THE DEUTERIUM EXCHANGE REACTION BETWEEN p-XYLENE AND DEUTERIUM OXIDE CATALYZED BY SULPHURIC ACID (in Japanese)
The exchange reaction of deuterium between p-xylene and deuterium oxide was studied using sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide as the catalysts to elucidate the mechanism of the reaction between aromatic compounds and deuterium oxide. The reaction products were analyzed by mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. It was found that in the case of sulfuric acid the hydrogen atoms of benzene ring of p-xylene were exchanged at random with deuterium oxide at 50 to 100 deg C, while in the case of sodium hydroxide the exchange reaction was not observed even at 150 deg C. The results were interpreted, assuming that pxylene forms some molecular complex with sulfuric acid as a reaction intermediate. (auth)
