Intra- and Intermolecular H/D Exchange in Aqueous Solution Catalyzed by Molybdocenes

Abstract
C−H bond activation in water catalyzed by water‐soluble molybdocene complexes results in H/D exchange in alcohols [Eq. (1)]. Deuterium is incorporated intramolecularly in the Cp′ methyl group of the metallocene as well as intermolecularly on the α‐carbon atoms of the alcohols at moderate temperatures (Cp′=η5‐C5H4CH3).
