Greater than 95% incorporation of three deuterons was observed in the C5 position of the pentenone ring and the methylene position of the C4 acyl group. Photochemical isomerization with a 400 nm blue LED source provided stereospecific formation of deuterated trans-isohumulones in 36-82% yield with greater than 95% incorporation of deuterium in the C5 ring position. Oxidation of humulones with cumene hydroperoxide in basic D2O gave isohumulinones with partial 55-73% incorporation of deuterium due to keto-enol isomerization of the methylene substituent of the C4 acyl group.
