Description

The title compound was obtained by preferential crystallisation of (2RS,5R)-[52H]proline. The labelled racemic amino acid was synthesized in five steps from (5R)-[52H]-pyrrolidone, which was prepared by cyclisation of (4R)-[4-2H]GABA. The stereospecific label was introduced into GABA enzymatically decarboxylating in 2H2O (2S)-glutamic acid, in the presence of glutamate decarboxylase from E. coli. (author)
