Alkaline-earth oxides are readily available materials that possess remarkable chemical properties when thermally activated. Basic sites (H/sup +/ abstraction sites), reducing sites (electron-transfer sites), and radical sites (H abstraction sites) have all been utilized on the surface of high surface area, polycrystalline MgO. Due to this wealth of interesting chemistry and the abundance of MgO and CaO, the authors have initiated a program involving the use of these materials as catalysts and/or stoichiometric reagents for carrying out organic/inorganic syntheses. In this paper they report on MgO as a catalyst for carrying out selective hydrocarbon-D/sub 2/ exchange.
