A synthesis of the title compound from /13Clparaformaldehyde and [15N)ammonium chloride V f 8 ethyl 2-(1 ,3-/2-13Cldithianyl) acetate 3a is described. Ethyl/3-13C13-oxopropanoate derived in sl'tu from 3a was converted by a stepwise Strecker procedure to DL-[ 2-13C,15Nlaspartic acid 7a.

Abstract
A convenient two‐step chemical synthesis of DL‐[2‐^13^C]‐glutamic acid from methyl acrylate and diethyl acetamidomalonate is described. Synthesis of the Michael adduct (III) was effected in quantitative yield by employing strong amino bases as catalysts. The reactivities of three such catalysts, tetramethyl guanidine (TMG), 1,8‐diazobicyclo [5,4,0]‐undec‐7‐ene (1,5‐5) (DBU) and 1,5‐diazobicyclo [4,3,0] non‐5‐ene (DBN) were compared by ^13^C NMR and all are shown to catalyse the reaction quantitatively, however at markedly different rates.
