title: Simple synthesis of deuterium and 13C labeled trifluoromethyl phenyldiazirine derivatives as stable isotope tags for mass spectrometry.
abstract: The synthesis of trifluoromethyl diazirine with a stable isotope tag is reported. We found that both Friedel-Crafts acylation and reduction of aryl carbonyl to methylene, using commercially available stable-isotope reagents, were utilized for the synthesis of diazirinyl fatty acid derivatives. The stable isotope labeled diazirine may be valuable for identifying binding sites by mass spectrometry.
