title: Studies of the H-D exchange mechanism of malonganenone B.
abstract: Malonganenone B (1) exhibits an unusual H-D exchange of a formyl proton when in deuteric-NMR solvents. Synthetic and kinetic investigations were made to probe the mechanism of this exchange, which appears to occur via an uncommon and transient amine-amide NHC intermediate.
