The results obtained showed deuterium incorporation at α-posi t ion of the carbonyl group of acebutolol, when using deuterium oxide or deuterated methanol as deuterium source and solvent. The spontaneous deuteration is proceeded by the following pathway CH\(_{3}\)→CH\(_{2}\)D→CHD→CD\(_{2}\), through a keto-enol tautomerization reaction. Furthermore, LC-MS / QTOF analyses have confirmed the proposed H/D exchange. In order to reduce the time of total deuteration observed at the acetyl group alkaline catalysts were employed.}, language = {en} }
