Abstract

Abstract In this paper we report the synthesis of five retinals, specifically mono-labelled with 13 C at the positions 1, 2, 3 and 4 and di-labelled with 13 C at the positions 16 and 17, with more than 98% chemical purity and high 13 C incorporation.(1-13 C)-and (16, 17-13 C 2) retinal were obtained in 20% overall yield from (2-13 C)-and (1, 3-13 C 2) acetone.(2-13 C)- and (3-13 C) retinal were prepared in 10% overall yield from (1-13 C)-and (2-13 C) ...
