We describe a new synthetic path for the preparation of isotopically labelled saturated odd-numbered fatty acids by a homologation procedure for the direct conversion of carboxylic acids into their 2,2-dideuterated homologues. This process can be used to obtain both odd-and even-numbered 2,2-dideute

Abstract
Syntheses of palmitic acidβd~2~ and stearic acidβd~6~ are described, the latter route also having the capability of producing methyl oleate and elaidateβ13,13,14,14βd~4~ from the same synthetic sequence. Overall yields are in the range of 40 to 60%. These syntheses use tris (triphenylphosphine) β chlororhodium(I) for the incorporation of deuterium. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is used to confirm that less than 70 ppb rhodium catalyst remained in the final products.

A simple, quick procedure for the isolation of pig kidney o-amino acid oxidase [EC 1.4.3.3; o-amino acid:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)] is described based upon the use of granulated hydroxylapatite for chromatography. The purity appears to be comparable to that obtained by other procedures. Th
