Abstract

Four isotopically (^13^C)‐labeled phenolic acids (caffeic [M + 3], sinapic [M + 2], p‐coumaric [M + 6] and ferulic [M + 6] acids) were synthesized via a simple one‐step malonic acid condensation with a series of aldehydes. The aldehydes and the malonic acid were variously labeled and unlabeled to vary the enriched sites. ^13^C and ^1^H NMR analyses together confirmed the labeled positions. LC/MS confirmed the masses. These acids are intended for use as internal standards for isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
