Abstract
The strategy for the measurement of the site-specific isotope ratios by NMR within a symmetrical molecule is illustrated by the determination of the site-specific 13C content in glycerol on the basis of (i) a selective derivatisation of glycerol, carried out by a lipase (Candida antarctica) to overcome the symmetry of the molecule, (ii) purification of the (R)-monobenzoate glycerol with a high enantiomeric excess and (iii) use of this derivative for quantitative 13C NMR spectroscopy for the determination of 13C isotopomer concentrations.
