The Use of 13C in the Synthesis of Double Labelled Precursors

Abstract

Discovery of 13C NMR and its application in the biosynthetic pathways prompted the synthesis of several 13C labelled precursors. To investigate the metabolism of phenyllactic acid in the Solanaceae family, the double labelled acid was synthesized from barium carbonate (13C) and sodium syanide (13C)
