No-D NMR (no-deuterium proton NMR) spectroscopy: a simple yet powerful method for analyzing reaction and reagent solutions

Org Lett. 2004 Mar 18;6(6):953-6. doi: 10.1021/ol049979+.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The title technique is a convenient and powerful method for directly monitoring or assaying any reaction mixture or reagent solution. Examples of some common processes (Fischer esterification, lithiation, butyllithium/THF compatibility, olefin metathesis, and a quantification assay), each interrogated in its native solvent, are presented. The spectral data are easy to acquire, and the information content makes a compelling case for routine use of No-D NMR spectroscopy.
