The invention relates to a process for synthesising organic molecules. The invention provides a process for forming an sp.sup.2-sp.sup.3 carbon-carbon bond between a first compound comprising a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group and a second compound comprising a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group in the presence of a catalyst, water, and a first base. The process may find use in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The present invention discloses a process for preparing perhydrofluorene or alkyl-substituted perhydrofluorene, comprising the steps of: (1) reacting a phenolic compound or an aromatic hydrocarbon compound or an aromatic ketone compound or an aromatic ether compound with a benzyl compound to carry out an alkylation reaction in the presence of a first catalyst, thereby to produce substituted or unsubstituted diphenyl methane, wherein the first catalyst is an acidic catalyst; and (2) reacting the substituted or unsubstituted diphenyl methane with hydrogen gas to carry out an hydrogenation reaction or a hydrodeoxygenation reaction, thereby to produce perhydrofluorene or alkyl-substituted perhydrofluorene, wherein the second catalyst is a physical mixture of a metal catalyst and an acidic catalyst or a metal catalyst loaded on an acidic catalyst.

The present application provides a method for preparing a deuterated chemical by means of a deuteration reaction of a carbon-hydrogen bond with a deuterium gas under the catalysis of an alkali, wherein in the presence of a catalyst, a deuterium gas is added into a compound containing a carbon-hydrogen bond for a deuteration reaction so as to generate a deuterated compound. A deuterium gas is used as a deuterium source, such that multiple water separation operations, tedious steps and the wasting of energy caused by usage of a large amount of deuterium oxide as a deuterium source are avoided. Moreover, a cheap and easily available alkali metal compound is used for replacing an expensive transition metal catalyst and a complex-structure ligand as a catalyst for a deuteration reaction, and the alkali metal compound has the advantages of a low cost, a good compatibility with functional groups of a substrate and a high deuteration rate. The present application provides a new, low-cost, green and efficient deuteration method, which has a high application value.
