## Abstract α‐Farnesene deuterated at C1 or C4 was synthesised by regiospecific deuteration of 2‐geranyl‐3‐methylsulpholene (2). Treatment of (2) with butyl lithium in dimethylpropenylurea (DMPU) mediated THF resulted in deprotonation at C2. Quenching with D~2~O/CH~3~CO~2~D gave a mixture of deuter

Abstract
D~6~‐α‐Farnesene (3,7‐dimethyl‐11‐^2^H~3~‐methyl‐12,12,12‐^2^H~3~‐dodeca‐1,3E,6E,10‐tetraene) has been synthesised by two routes. Thermolysis of 2‐geranyl‐3‐methylsulpholene (5) yielded unlabelled α‐farnesene (93%) which was epoxidized at Δ10 in 31% yield. Oxidative cleavage of the epoxide (42%) and Wittig elaboration of the resultant trienal with d~6~‐isopropyl triphenylphosphorane gave d~6~‐α‐farnesene (73%). Alternatively, selective epoxidation of (5) gave the terminal 6′,7′ mono‐epoxide in 74% yield. Oxidative cleavage (73%) and Wittig elaboration of the resultant aldehyde yielded deuterated 2‐geranyl‐3‐methylsulpholene (46%). Thermal elimination of sulphur dioxide afforded the title compound in 91% yield.
