Deuterated organic compounds are useful in kinetic studies of chemical reactions and in metabolic studies of pharmaceutical drugs. Reducing a carbonyl compound using a deuterated reducing agent, such as NaBD4, is one of the many ways of producing deuterated organic compounds. Using NaBD4 and D2O as sources of deuterium, devise a plan for the synthesis of the following compound.
C6H5CHDOD
