Anion exchange resins like Rexyn 201(OH) and Amberlyst A-26 have been shown to be active catalysts for deuterium transfer between water and fluoroform. Under stirred slurry conditions at 50 °C the Rexyn 201 is 25 × more effective than NaOH on a per-hydroxide-ion basis. Addition of DMSO to the aqueous slurry produces an increase in Rexyn 201 reactivity, but the resin advantage over homogeneous −OH declines to zero by ~30 mol% DMSO. At 70 mol% DMSO the resin is less effective by a factor of ~100. Local fluoroform solubility and hydroxide ion solvation effects, including phase separation, in the pore liquid of the resin beads appear to be responsible for the observed behaviour.
