The synthesis of specifically labelled 9‐ d ‐9‐octylheptadecane (1) and 9‐ d ‐9,10‐dioctyloctadecane (2) has been achieved using selective and specific deuterium labelling methods. The precursor to the latter compound, tetraoctyl ethene, has been achieved by a variant of the McMurry reaction which improves upon recently published methods.
