The mechanism of the C-21 hydroxylation of progesterone (1a) by Aspergillusniger ATCC 9142 to give 11-deoxycorticosterone (1b) has been studied by the use of progesterone derivatives and of C-21 deuterium labelled progesterones. The requirement of the C-21 hydroxylase system for a C-20 carbonyl group is demonstrated and the possibility of the involvement of this group, in the C-20,21 enol form, in the C-21 hydroxylation reaction has been discussed. However, on the basis of the observed deuterium isotope effect (KH/KD = 1.25), a mechanism for the microbial C-21 hydroxylation reaction is proposed in which the rate-determining step is the direct insertion of oxygen into a C-21 carbon–hydrogen bond and not one involving enolization of the C-20 carbonyl.In addition, C-11α and C-15β hydroxylation of both 20α- and 20β-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3-one (2a and 2b) by A. niger has been observed.

The 13C chemical shifts of nuclei in several sugars undergo an isotope effect 0 to −0.10 p.p.m when a proton in the β position is substituted by a deuteron. The effect may be used for signal assignments in crowded spectra if it is taken into account that lower values are observed for 13C nuclei which are attached to more electronegative groups. The β effect coupled with the elimination of the α-carbon signal have been used to assign signals in c.m.r. spectra of the α- and β-anomers of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-allose, and D-galactose.
