A transition-metal-free etherification protocol that is capable of synthesizing deuterated ethers is described. A wide range of aryl alkyl ethers and thioethers were suitable for this transformation owing to the mild reaction conditions. Besides, a series of sterically bulky deuterated alcohols were successfully incorporated into cyano-substituted arenes. The results of mechanistic studies suggested
