Deuterated acetone ((CD3)2CO), also known as acetone-d6, is a form (isotopologue) of acetone (CH3)2CO in which the hydrogen atom (H) is replaced with deuterium (heavy hydrogen) isotope (2H or D). Deuterated acetone is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.[1]

Properties

[edit]

As with all deuterated compounds, the properties of deuterated acetone are virtually identical to those of regular acetone.

Manufacture

[edit]

Deuterated acetone is prepared by the reaction of acetone with heavy water, 2H2O or D2O, in the presence of a base. In this case, the base used is deuterated lithium hydroxide:[1]

In order to fully deuterate the acetone, the process is repeated several times, distilling off the acetone from the heavy water, and re-running the reaction in a fresh batch of heavy water.
