## Abstract Amino acid (AA) enantiomers were determined as __N(O)__‐pentafluoropropionyl‐(2)‐propyl esters by chiral gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) in 24 h samples of the urine of three healthy volunteers and in their blood sera. In urine the largest amounts were determined for D‐Ser

✦ Synopsis
Methylmalonic acid, succinic acid, and other dicarhoxylic acids have been extracted and partially purified from serum and urine using ether extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. The t-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives were prepared and analyzed using capillary gas chromatography-mass spcctrometry with selected ion monitoring. The addition of [methyl-*Hl]methylmalonic acid and [ 1 ,4-"Cz]succinic acid to the starting samples made it possible to quantitate these two dicarboxylic acids. Normal ranges for methylmalonic acid and succinic acid were determined in human and rat serum and in human urine. The utilization of other internal standards would make it possible to quantitate malonic, dimethylmalonic, ethylmalonic, methylsuccinic, glutaric, and other dicarboxylic acids.
