A practical guide for the preparation of C1-labeled α-amino acids using aldehyde catalysis with isotopically labeled CO2

Nature Protocols, Published online: 28 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41596-024-00974-4Isotopically labeled amino acids are useful in pharmacology and for medical imaging. In this protocol, C1-labeled α-amino acids are prepared via late-stage carboxylate exchange of unprotected α-amino acids with [*C]CO2 where *C is 13C, 11C or 14C.
