with high isotopic enrichment and excellent chemical purities using inexpensive and readily
available o‐xylene‐D10 as labeled starting material. The structures and isotope‐abundance
were confirmed via 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. These deuterium labeled phthalate
esters can be used as analytical reference standards for the detection of plasticizer residues
in soil, water, food, plastic products, etc.
