A new catalyst based on rhodium black using Crabtree's catalyst as an additive for direct hydrogen isotope exchange in aromatic compounds has been investigated. The level of deuterium incorporation can be improved from for example 16% to 93%. The catalyst mixture tolerates a variety of solvents. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
