Hello all,

Does any body know the method of making Deuterated Ethanol?

Expecting reply.

Well, I would go make a deuterated ethene and then add dueterated water across the double bond.  The reactions for hydrogen are well known catalytic reactions.  Substitute D for H and write up the differences.  However, definitely proceed with caution with that because a couple of guys at my alma matre, SRI International, blew themselves and the whole room up playing with small quantities of Deuterium on catalysts.  The they said it was cold fusion, but the establishment says that is impossible.  Anyway they died and the room disappeared.

I am trying to figure out the reason why someone would want deuterated ethanol. Since deuterated ethanol is heavier, normal ethanol should be more useful. ...
