Claims
- 1. A process for the production of deuterated methyl acrylate or deuterated methyl methacrylate, comprising the direct substitution of deuterium, from a source chosen from at least one of heavy water and deuterium gas, for the hydrogens in methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate in the presence of at least one platinum group metal catalyst selected from the group consisting of platinum and palladium catalysts at a temperature in the range of from room temperature up to 300.degree.
