- Abstract
Stimulated by a suggestion of the late Professor Jack D. Dunitz, that perdeuterated Janus face cycloalkanes may be more polar than their unlabelled forms, the deuterated isotopologue of all cis‐1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexafluorocyclohexane ([2H6]‐1a) and all cis‐1,2,3,4‐tetrafluorocyclopentane ([2H6]‐3a) were prepared. Computation at the B3LYP−D3 level indicated that [2H6]‐1a is not more polar than its protio form 1, however perdeuterated cyclopentane [2H6]‐3a may indeed be more polar than 3, although the magnitude is predicted to be small. None‐the‐less retention time analysis on a reverse phase GC/MS column of an add‐mix of 3 and [2H6]‐3a gave some indication that the per‐deuterated isotopologue 3a was detected marginally before the unlabelled compound consistent with increased polarity associated with perdeuteration.
