Title: Cascade alkylation and deuteration with aryl iodides via Pd/norbornene catalysis: an efficient method for the synthesis of congested deuterium-labeled arenes

Abstract

An efficient approach for synthesizing congested deuterium-labeled arenes via cascade alkylation and deuteration with aryl iodides has been disclosed. Here, we found that the adoption of sodium formate-$$d$$ as a deuterium source is the key for achieving high deuterium incorporation >98%.
