## Abstract [10,10,10β^2^H~3~]β3, 7βDimethylβ2(E), 6βoctadienyl diphosphate ([10,10,10β^2^H~3~]geranyl diphosphate) was synthesized from 6β(benzyloxy)β4βmethylβ4(E)βhexenal by regioselective deuteration involving a modified Wittig reaction as the key step.

β¦ Synopsis
Multiply labelled d 8 -geranyl diphosphate (3-methyl-7-2 H 3 -methyl-[1,1,8,8,8]-2 H 5 -2E,6-octadienyl diphosphate) was synthesised from geraniol in 8 steps. Geraniol was converted to [1,1]-2 H 2 -geraniol by a three step oxidation-reduction sequence in 38% yield. Selective epoxidation of [1,1]-2 H 2 -geranyl acetate gave 6,7-epoxy-[1,1]-2 H 2geranyl acetate, which, on oxidative cleavage of the epoxide and Wittig elaboration with d 6 -isopropyl triphenylphosphorane, gave d 8 -geraniol (14% yield) which was, in turn, converted to the title compound.

Prenyl, geranyl, and farnesyl derivatives containing nonionic surrogates for the diphosphate moiety, including disulfones 4-6 and 7-9, methylene disulfonamides 10-12, and carbamyl sulfamides 13-15, have been synthesized and evaluated biologically in an effort to find suitable nonlabile, neutral inhi
