Abstract

The complete deuteriation of indene (1) at C(1) and C(3) and fluorene (2) at C(9), and the allylic isomerization of 1-methylindene (3) to 3-methylindene (6) are reported; phase transfer catalysis is shown to be an easy and efficient method for deuterium exchange and isomerization of acidic hydrocarbons.
