Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the synthesis and characterization by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy of [2-13 C]-and [3-13 C] ubiquinone-0 and of [5-13 C]-and [6-13 C] ubiquinone-10. A scheme based on the synthetic approach to [5-13 C] ubiquinone-10 has been worked out for the synthesis of ubiquinones 13 C-labeled at any individual position and at every combination of positions in the quinone ring. The [5-13 C]-and [6-13 C] ...
