Abstract
Synthetic schemes for 2(S,R)โaminoโ3โD~3~methylpentanoic acid, 2(S,R)โaminoโ3โ^13^Cmethylโ[4โ^13^C]pentanoic acid (isoleucine) and 1โ^13^C,^15^Nโleucine are described. The side chain labeled isoleucines were constructed by first alkylating 2,4,4โtrimethylโ2โoxazoline with appropriate labeled alkyl halides and then reducing the resultant oxazolines to the aldehydes. Strecker synthesis yielded a mixture of isoleucine and alloisoleucine which was separated via the Nโacetyl derivatives. In a separate sequence, Strecker synthesis using 3โmethylbutanal, [^13^C]cyanide and [^15^N]ammonium hydroxide, followed by acid hydrolysis, gave [1โ^13^C, ^15^N]leucine amide. This amide was resolved by leucine aminopeptidase to produce 1โ^13^C,^15^Nโleucine. Similar schemes were used for the synthesis of [1โ^13^C] or ^15^Nโleucine and [1โ^13^C] or ^15^Nโvaline.
