Dual Studies on a Hydrogen–Deuterium Exchange of Resorcinol and the Subsequent Kinetic Isotope Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient laboratory experiment has been developed for undergraduate students to conduct hydrogen-deuterium (H-D) exchange of resorcinol by electrophilic aromatic substitution using D2O and a catalytic amount of H2SO4. The resulting labeled product is characterized by 1H NMR. Students also visualize a significant kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD ≈ 3 to 4) by adding iodine tincture to solutions of unlabeled resorcinol and the H-D exchange product. This method is highly adaptable to fit a target audience and has been successfully implemented in a pedagogical capacity with second-year introductory organic chemistry students as part of their laboratory curriculum. It was also adapted for students at the advanced high school level.

Influence of Deuterium-Depleted Water on the Isotope D/H Composition of Liver Tissue and Morphological Development of Rats at Different Periods of Ontogenesis
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the reaction of organism of laboratory animals on deuterium-depleted drinking diet. To assess the cell energy metabolism, the effect of a liquid medium with different deuterium contents on isolated liver mitochondria of random bred rats and Wistar rats was studied. Methods: This experimental study on the effect of deuterium-depleted drinking water (DDW) ...
متن کاملKinetic isotope effects for fast deuterium and proton exchange rates.
By monitoring the effect of deuterium decoupling on the decay of transverse (15)N magnetization in D-(15)N spin pairs during multiple-refocusing echo sequences, we have determined fast D-D exchange rates kD and compared them with fast H-H exchange rates kH in tryptophan to determine the kinetic isotope effect as a function of pH and temperature.
متن کاملHydrogen tunneling in adenosylcobalamin-dependent glutamate mutase: evidence from intrinsic kinetic isotope effects measured by intramolecular competition.
Hydrogen atom transfer reactions between the substrate and coenzyme are key mechanistic features of all adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzymes. For one of these enzymes, glutamate mutase, we have investigated whether hydrogen tunneling makes a significant contribution to the mechanism by examining the temperature dependence of the deuterium kinetic isotope effect associated with the transfer of a ...
متن کاملKinetic isotope effect in hydrogen abstraction from 2-propanol by hydrogen and deuterium radicals. A pulse radiolysis Fourier transform electron spin resonance study
Using FT-ESR coupled with pulse radiolysis the kinetics of hydrogen abstraction from 2-propanol by hydrogen and deuterium radicals were studied in aqueous solution. The rate constants were determined from the effective spin–spin relaxation times of the free induction decay of hydrogen or deuterium ESR lines by variation of the 2-propanol Ž . Ž . concentration. The rate constants k and k for H D...
متن کاملIsotope effect on electron transfer in reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides.
Previous ENDOR studies on reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides have shown the presence of two hydrogen-bonded protons associated with the primary, ubiquinone, acceptor Q(A). These protons exchange with deuterons from solvent (2)H(2)O. The effect of this deuterium substitution on the charge-recombination kinetics (BChl)(2) (+)Q(A) (-) --> (BChl)(2)Q(A) has been studied with a sensi...
