However studies of the competition between halogen-metal exchange and deuterium loss for $N$-deutero-$N$-alkyl-2-, 3-, and 4-halobenzamides (39a-f) are not consistent with that mechanism. An alternative mechanism in which initial loss of the acidic deuterium is followed by halogen-lithium exchange to give a dilithiated intermediate (41) is suggested. Deuterium transfer to the site of halogen-lithium exchange then occurs by intermolecular reaction of the dilithiated species with unreacted $N$-deuterated amide as it diffuses into the solution. The halogen-lithium exchange is faster than complete mixing of the reactants, and can occur either in an initially formed deprotonated complex or in a transient high local concentration of organolithium reagent as the organolithium is added to the amide substrate.
