Analysis of isotopic label migration in
(10E,12Z)-CLA. A, mass spectrum of
(10E,12Z)-CLA derived from nonlabeled LA. Peaks
corresponding to fragments C-9-C12 are marked, and the fragmentation pattern
of 4,4-dimethyloxazoline-(10E,12Z)-CLA is shown
(inset). B, mass spectrum of (10E,12Z)-CLA
derived from (11S)-deuterio-LA. Inset,
11-proS-hydrogen is not abstracted by PAI. C, same as
B, but 11-dideuterio-LA was used as the substrate. Inset,
scheme of deuterium transfer by PAI.
