Abstract
A one‐pot synthesis of (±)‐(ring ^13^C~6~)‐mandelic acid is reported. [Ring ^13^C~6~]‐benzaldehyde was cyanosilylated with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN)/Znl~2~. The resulting cyanosilylated adduct was hydrolyzed with concentrated hydrochloric acid without purification. The workup involves evaporation to dryness and extraction of the (±)‐(ring ^13^C~6~)‐mandelic acid with hot benzene. After one crystallization, the synthesis produced an overall yield of 65% of (±)‐(ring ^13^C~6~)‐mandelic acid that was about 98% pure by HPLC with UV detection.
