Abstract
^15^N n.m.r. spectra of [^13^C‐2, 3‐^15^N~2~‐guanidino]arginine and [^13^C, ^15^N~2~] urea were obtained in D~2~O and H~2~O at a variety of pH values both with and without proton decoupling. The effects of the proton exchange rate are readily observable in the proton coupled ^15^N spectra. When the guanidino group is deprotonated (p__K__ = 12.5), the terminal nitrogens give a single resonance 6.6 ppm downfield of the protonated species, indicating a rapid tautomeric exchange. The observed NH and CN couplings are compared with calculated values, and good agreement is found for ^1^J(CN) using a Blizzard–Santry type calculation. The ramifications of the proton exchange on ^15^N n.m.r. spectra of amino acids and peptides are discussed.

Labeled derivatives of N-methylolacrylamide (NMA) including 15 N-NMA, 13 C-NMA, and 13 C, 15 N-NMA were synthesized and purified. A required chemical precursor, 15 N-acrylamide, was also prepared. Reported methods for synthesizing unlabeled analogs are noted, and modifications to these methods for a
