## Abstract Reduction of nitrostyrenes with sodium borodeuteride in the presence of silica gel (70β270 mesh) in a mixture of chloroform and 2βpropanol gave the corresponding deuterated nitroethanes in near quantitative yields, free of dimeric products with 72β81% deuterium incorporation. The method
