## Abstract Folic acid plays a key role in nucleic acid biosynthesis, essential for normal cell proliferation and function. Localized folate deficiencies may be related to changes in cytology associated with cancer development; analogs of folic acid, such as methotrexate, are potent chemotherapeuti

Abstract
Methyl nicotinate‐5‐^2^H was prepared in dry tetrahydrofuran by palladium‐catalyzed deuterolysis of methyl 5‐bromonicotinate. Acid hydrolysis of the crude reaction mixture resulted in a 92% yield of deuterium‐labeled nicotinic acid of which 80 mole% was nicotinic‐5‐^2^H acid and 12 mole% was nicotinic‐5‐^2^H acid containing an additional deuterium atom elsewhere in the molecule. The structure assignment was based on the results of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.

Pteroylglutamic acid was labeled with deuterium by trifluoroacetic acid-catalyzed exchange with deuterium oxide. The product, pteroylglutamic acid-3',5'-H2, was selectively labeled with deuterium in the 4-aminobenzoyl portion of the molecule; there was no evidence for isotope incorporation at C or
We have developed a novel method that effectively identifies the N-terminal product ions produced in the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of peptides done in conjunction with the specific derivatization of the N-terminal amino group using 5-bromonicotinic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (Br
