13C isotope composition of meteoritic sugar acids and glycerol

Compound 13C (‰) Meteorite
Glyceric acid (d+l) 60 M30
2-Methylglyceric acid (d+l) 82 M30
Erythro-2,3-dihydroxybutyric acid (d+l) 18 M56
Threonic acid (d) 10* M53
Erythonic acid (d+l) 10* M53
Glycerol 5 G

G, GRA 95229; M, Murchison. Glyceric acid, 2-methylglyceric acid, and erythro-2,3-dihydroxybutyric acid were TMS derivatives; threonic and erythronic were i-Pr/TFA derivatives (see Materials and Methods).
