The catalytic properties of several ruthenium, osmium and rhodium hydride complexes for hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange between olefins and deuterium oxide (D2O) were investigated. The most effective catalytic precursor was found to be the carbonylchlorohydridotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) complex. Through H/D exchange between metal hydride and D2O, and reversible olefin insertion into an Ru-H(D) bond, protons attached to olefinic carbons and alkyl chains of olefins can all undergo H/D exchange with D 2O. The catalytic reactions can be used to deuterate both terminal and internal olefins, for example, styrene, stilbene and cyclooctene.
