## Abstract Apogossypol with deuterium or tritium in the 8 and 8′ positions can be synthesized by the base catalyzed deformylation of gossypol. The position of the labeling is established by the pmr spectrum of the material derived from the reaction of deuterium oxide and sodium deuteroxide. The sp

Abstract
To increase the bio‐availability of naturally occurring steroids, esterification of the 17‐hydroxy position is a useful approach. Besides (branched) alkanecarboxylic acids^1^) and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid^2^) also cyclooctyl acetic acid (1) was applied. To establish the biological fate of the cyclooctyl acetic acid part of steroids the tritiated molecule was synthesized (Figure 1). Cyclooctanone (3) was condensed with cyanoacetic acid^3^) and the resulting cyanide (4) was hydrolyzed to cyclooctenyl acetic acid (2a)^4^) which contained according to ^1^H NMR and ^13^C NMR 20% of the isomeric 2b(^1^H NMR (C^2^HCl~3~): 5,58 ppm (t, CH of 2a) and 5,63 ppm (br.s CH of 2b) ^13^C NMR(C^2^HCl~3~): 129,6 ppm (CH of 2a) and 115,0 ppm (CH of 2b)).

## Abstract Specifically deuterated derivatives of the inhalation anesthetic enflurane [2‐chloro‐1‐(difluoromethoxy)‐1,1,2‐trifluoroethane] have been synthesized by a facile base catalyzed exchange. Tritiated enflurane has also been synthesized by this procedure.
## Abstract An overview is given of the possibilites of ^3^H NMR in the characterisation of ^3^H‐labelled compounds. This technique gives information on the identity of the tritiated compounds, the position of the tritium, the distribution of the label and even the radiochemical purity of the label
L-Methionine y-lyase catalyzes the exchange of LY-and @-hydrogens of L-methionine and S-methyl-L-cysteine with deuterium or tritium of solvents. The rate of a-hydrogen exchange with deuterium was about 40 times faster than that of the elimination reactions. The deuterium and tritium were exchanged a
The distribution of hydrogen isotope between pro-R and pro-S positions of succinic acid has been determined by comparison of its isotopic content before and after incubation with isocitrate lyase. This enzyme, in the presence of glyoxylate, exchanges exclusively the pro-S protons of succinate with w
