A practical method for hydrogen-deuterium exchange is obtained via extractive hydroxide ion initiated phase-transfer catalysis. The reaction of NaOD/D/sub 2/O system allows the easy production of compounds that otherwise would require very strong bases and aprotic solvents. The strong basicity of OD/sup -/ anion is attributable to its relative freedom from water molecules when OD/sup -/ is extracted into the depth of the organic layer. 22 references, 1 table.
