Abstract
Three alkyl mesityl ketones (methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl) deuterated in the α‐positions were prepared in good yields (82‐89%) by exchange with deuterium oxide using dioxane solvent and various catalysts. Little or no exchange was obtained when reactions were attempted under conditions used in published procedures for other ketones. Infrared and ^1^H nmr spectral evidence in support of structural assignments of deuterated ketones is given.
