ABSTRACT

A Wittig reaction employing Li(CD3)2CP(C6H5)3 was used to prepare d6-farnesol and d6-geranylgeraniol. Reductive amination of aniline-2,3,4,5,6-d5 was used to prepare the unnatural isoprenoid analogues d5-anilinogeraniol and d5-anilinofarnesol. All of these deuterated isoprenols were elaborated into their diphosphate and cysteine thioether derivatives suitable for use as stable-isotope labeled standards for quantitative mass spectrometric analysis.
