A new general method was developed for the synthesis of 1-C/sup 14/- amino acids. Essentially, the method consists of the exchange of the carboxyl group of the aminoacid by a C/sup 14/-carboxyl group through a reaction cycle. Starting from a given amino acid, first the N-phthaloyl, then from this latter the chloride, further the azide derivatives are prepared. Subjecting the azide derivatives to a Curtius decomposition, a carbamic acid derivative was obtained whose phthalimide group could be exchanged by a labeled cyanide-group. The hydrolysis of the formed nitrile derivative affords the desired labeled amino acid. It was possible to prepare DL-alanine-l-C/sup 14/ in a yield of 69.2%, l-C/ sup 14/ in yield of 43.5%. (auth)
