Transformation of α,β-epoxyesters into 2,3-dideuterioesters promoted by samarium diiodide

An easy and general sequenced elimination/reduction process by means of samarium diiodide, in the presence of D2O, provides an efficient method for synthesizing 2,3-dideuterioesters 2. The reaction can be also carried out in the presence of H2O instead of D2O, yielding the corresponding saturated esters 4. Other deuterated esters have been also obtained. A mechanism to explain this synthesis has been proposed.
