Deuterium (D) is an isotope of H. Both D and H have one proton and one electron; H has no neutrons and D has one. Consequently, D and H have nearly identical behavior, but they can be distinguished from each other experimentally due to their different masses. Therefore, replacing an H with a D in a molecule-deuterium isotope labeling-can provide valuable information about a mechanism. With this in mind, how would you synthesize each of the following deuterium-labeled compounds from the analogous unlabeled compound, using D,0 as your only source of deuterium? Hint: You will have to use two separate proton transfer reactions to synthesize each one. (a) (b) (c) OD D.
