Abstract
The synthesis of [1,3,5β^13^C~3~]β and [2,4,6,7β^13^C~4~]benzoic acid (5a and 5b) from [2β^13^C]β and [3β^13^C]sodium pyruvate (1a and 1b), for in vitro and in vivo tracer studies using ^13^C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, is reported. After condensation of 1 to [^13^C]methyldihydrotrimesic acids 2 using sodium hydroxide, decarboxylation to [^13^C]uvitic acid 3 was carried out using conc. sulfuric acid. Additional decarboxylation of 3 was achieved with cupric oxide and quinoline, and the resulting [^13^C]toluenes 4 were effectively trapped, using a simplified decarboxylation apparatus. Compounds 4 were subsequently oxidized to 5 using potassium permanganate without further purification. The overall yields of 5 from 1 were 26β28 %, with isotopic purities of 96β98 %. In addition, the assignments for ^13^C NMR signals of benzoic acid were first substantiated.
