Deuterated acetone

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.

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.
