With the recent ability to use combined liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to analyze for several eicosanoids in biological samples in a single and rapid experiment, heavy isotope-labeled eicosanoids are needed as internal standards in order to quantify eicosanoid analytes.

Abstract
A new method for the synthesis of highly deuterated or tritiated leukotrienes was developed. The higher reactivity of a terminal alkene compared to a 1,2‐disubstituted one permitted the selective deuteration or tritiation of the diyne 14,15,19,19,20,20‐hexadehydro LTC~4~ triester 1. After hydrolysis, LTC~4~ was obtained in 36% overall yield. An average of seven deuterium or tritium atoms was incorporated and the specific activity of the tritiated LTC~4~ was greater than 180 Ci/mmol. 1 was obtained from the addition of glutathione to 14,15,19,19,20,20‐hexadehydro LTA~4~ ethyl ester which was the product of a Wittig reaction between (3,8‐nonanediyn‐1‐yl)triphenylphosphonium iodide and 5(S), 6(S), 7(E), 9(E) ethyl 5,6‐epoxy‐11‐oxo‐7,9‐undecadienoate.
