The synthesis and chiroptical properties of (2R)-2-deuterio-3-hexanone (8a), (2R)-2-deuterio-4-methylpentanone (8b), (2R)-2-deuteriopentanal (9a), (2R)-2-deuterio-3-methylbutanal (9b), and (3R)-3-deuteriohexanal (13) are described. All exhibit Cotton effects consistent with the preferred eclipsed conformation of the carbonyl/..cap alpha..-alkyl moiety. The ..beta..-deuterio aldehyde 13 shows a sign change in accordance with the proximity rule previously observed in CD studies.
