A five‐step synthesis of deuterium‐labelled diclofenac starting from 2‐phenyl[ 2 H 5 ] acetic acid is described. The synthesis prevents deuterium from scrambling during the reaction. It offers the labelled compound with over 99% isotopic enrichment. It also provides a possible alternative route for the synthesis of deuterium‐labelled 4′‐hydroxydiclofenac, which is the principal human metabolite of diclofenac.
