We report a convenient and cost-effective protocol for the regioselective deuteration of primary and secondary alcohols using Earth abundant homogeneous first row transition metal pincer catalysts. D2O is utilized as both a deuterium source and a solvent, allowing for a benign inexpensive process. Depending on the metal selected (Mn or Fe), a high degree of deuterium incorporation was observed selectively
