Deuterated acetone ((CD3)2CO), also known as Acetone-D6, is a form (called an isotopologue) of acetone (CH3)2CO in which the hydrogen atom ("H") is replaced with deuterium (heavy hydrogen) isotope ("D"). Deuterated acetone is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.
Properties[]
As with all deuterated compounds, the properties of deuterated acetone are virtually identical to those of regular acetone.
Manufacture[]
Deuterated acetone is prepared from heavy water, D2O, by what amounts to an aldol reaction. In this case, the base used is a deuterated version of 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.
