Methyleugenol monodeuterated on the benzylic position, 4‐(1‐deuteroprop‐2‐enyl)‐1,2‐dimethoxybenzene, was synthesised in > 87% isotopic enrichment and in three steps from veratraldehyde. Key steps involved the reduction of veratraldehyde by LiAlD 4 to install a single deuterium atom at the benzylic position and a Pd‐ or Ni‐catalyzed coupling of the corresponding monodeuterobenzyl chloride with vinyl magnesium bromide.
