Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of specifically labelled 9-d-9-octylheptadecane (1) and 9-d-9, 10- dioctyloctadecane (2) has been achieved using selective and specific deuterium labelling methods. The precursor to the latter compound, tetraoctyl ethene, has been achieved by a variant of the McMurry reaction which improves upon recently published methods.
