Abstract
The origin of the carbon skeleton of verrucarin E (1) from acetate as precursor is confirmed. Incorporation studies with [1,2β^13^C]βacetate have demonstrated that two acetoacetate units couple together as shown in pattern A (Scheme 2) and not as in B. Analysis of the deuterium distribution in both verrucarin E (1) isolated after the incorporation of [2β^13^C,2β^2^H~3~]βacetate and in sodium acetate obtained after KuhnβRoth oxidation of the metabolite demonstrated that C(7) is derived from the starter unit of one of the acetoacetate moieties. The deuterium exchange in verrucarin E (1) occurring during fermentation was investigated.

## Abstract [2β^13^C, 2β^14^C]2βAminoethanol hydrochloride was prepared in good yield from Na\*CN in a two step sequence by first converting the Na\*CN to OHCH~2~\*CN and then reducing the nitrile directly with a solution of boraneβtetrahydrofuran complex. The reaction procedure was simple and the
The syntheses of a-ketoC2-' 3C]glutaric acid and a-ketoC1,2-' 'Cl glutaric acid were each achieved from commercial "CH,I in 5 steps. CH,NO,, prepared in situ from "CH,I and AgNO,, was treated with magnesium methyl carbonate, followed by acidified methanol to give 0,N13CH,C0,CH3. Michael addition to
Previously proposed I3C NMR spectral assignments of cycloartenol(9,19-cyclolanost-24-en-3j?-ol) (1) and cycloartanol(9,19-cyclolanostan-3/3-ol) (2) were re-examined by means of 13C-enrichment experiments and LIS measurement of "C chemical shifts. Revised signal assignments are proposed for C-
