METHOD FOR DEUTERATING ALKANE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for deuterating an alkane wherein deuteration effectively proceeds under relatively mild conditions (at low temperature/low pressure). Specifically disclosed is a method for deuterating an alkane wherein an alkane and a heterogeneous platinum group catalyst are added into deuterium oxide and/or a deuterated solvent, and then the thus-obtained suspension is heated in a closed system in a hydrogen gas and/or hydrogen isotope gas atmosphere.
