A highly efficient method for labeling with deuterium is described using an acidic hydrocarbon as transfer agent. Using 9-[H-2]-9-phenylfluorene as the deuterium donor, numrrous organic compounds have been labeled in fair yields and good isotopic enrichment. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
