Figure 1 shows the C-2 region of the 2H-decoupled HETCOR spectrum of labeled 5. The proton of the CHD group (readily identified by the positive DEPT signal in the I3C dimension) at C-2 is clearly at higher field, corresponding to the pro-2S position of 5.'49'8-'9 This indicates that 2H had been incorporated by the B. ammoniagenes FAS into the pro-12R position of oleic acid and therefore into the pro-R position at all even-numbered carbons ...
