Abstract

In order to corroborate a mechanisms proposed for the fragmentation of the molecular ion of heterosides, involving a hydride migration from the aglycome to the osidic unit, the 4‐[^2^H~2~]‐10‐[^2^H~3~]‐labelled neryl and geranyl‐β‐D‐glucosides 9 and 10 have been synthesised.

Deuterated ketone 1 was prepared in >99% isotopic abundance by base catalysed exchange with [^2^H~2~]‐water, and was reacted under Wittig‐Horner conditions furnishing the corresponding α, β‐unsaturated esters 3 and 4.

Selective reduction of the ester group can be performed with DIBAl‐H, whereas LiAlH~4~ give a secondary reduction of the CC double bond.

The published procedure (13) for the β‐D‐glucosidation of alochols has been modified in order to optimise conditions on the deuterated nerol and geraniol.

By comparison of collision spectra (NICI/CAD) of pure deuterated and undeuterated neryl and geranyl‐β‐D‐glucosides the proposed fragmentation mechanism is fully corroborated.
