✦ Synopsis


Oxidation by bromine of L-fgstine dissolved in acidified 180-enriched water (95 atom X cysteic acid which copbained t w ; l 8 0 atoms in the carboxylic acid portion and two of the mo&cule.

It is postulated that the incorporation of a single intramolecular transfer of a carboxyl oxygen via a cyclic carboxylic-sulfenic anhydride intermediate which is formed during the oxidation. postulated to exchange from either the cyclic anhydride or the free carboxylic acid during the reaction. led to the production of 0 atoms in the sulfonic acid portion 0 into the sulfonic acid results from an

The remaining carboxyl oxygen is
