In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydration: Direct Synthesis of α-Protio and α-Deuterio α-Chloro and α-Fluoro Carboxylic Acids, published in 2010-03-10, which mentions a compound: 1214711-48-4, mainly applied to heterocyclic carbene catalyzed asym hydration chloro aldehyde halo enal; enantioselective synthesis chloro fluoro deuterio carboxylic acid, Category: quinuclidine.
Asym. hydration of α,α-dichloro aldehydes and α-halo enals via a NHC-catalyzed redox process to yield enantioenriched α-chloro and α-fluoro carboxylic acids is described herein. The developed reaction allows for installation of an α-deuterium to give rise to enantioenriched α-deutero α-halo acids using D2O as the deuteron source.
