Deuterated DMSO, also known as dimethyl sulfoxide-d₆, is an isotopologue of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, (CH₃)₂S=O)) with chemical formula ((CD₃)₂S=O) in which the hydrogen atoms ("H") are replaced with their isotope deuterium ("D"). Deuterated DMSO is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.

Production

Deuterated DMSO is produced by heating DMSO in heavy water (D₂O) with a basic catalyst such as calcium oxide. The reaction does not give complete conversion to the d₆ product, and the water produced must be removed and replaced with D₂O several times to drive the equilibrium to the fully deuterated product.^[1]

Use in NMR spectroscopy

¹³C NMR Spectrum of DMSO-d₆

Pure deuterated DMSO shows no peaks in ¹H NMR spectroscopy and as a result is commonly used as an NMR solvent.^[2] However commercially available samples are not 100% pure and a residual DMSO-d₅ ¹H NMR signal is observed at 2.50ppm (quintet, J_HD=1.9Hz). The ¹³C chemical shift of DMSO-d₆ is 39.52ppm (septet).^[3]
