Herein we describe a general, mild and scalable method for deuterium incorporation by potassium methoxide/hexamethyldisilane-mediated dehalogenation of arylhalides. With CD₃CN as a deuterium source, a wide array of heteroarenes prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bearing diverse functional groups are labeled with excellent deuterium incorporation (>60 examples). The ipso-selectivity of this method provides precise access to libraries of deuterated indoles and quinolines. The synthetic utility of our method has been demonstrated by the incorporation of deuterium into complex natural and drug-like compounds.
