Facile Synthesis of Regioselectively Deuteriated (3R)-(−)-[8,8,8-2H3]Linalool

Abstract Regloseleetively deuteriated (3R)-(−)-[8,8,8-2H3] linalool was synthesized from (4R)-(−)-4-acetyl-3-methyl-5-hexenal, which was prepared from (3R)-(−)-linalyl acetate, with the synthesis of (2E,6R)-(−)-2,6-dimethyl-2,7-[1,1-2H2]octadiene-1,6-diol as the key step.
