Abstract

The major dietary anthocyanin, cyanidin-3-glucoside, was prepared on a 4 g scale from three units of diethyl [2-(13)C]malonate and one unit of [1,3-(13)C(2)]acetone, such that five isotope locations were distributed throughout the molecule to provide a penta-(13)C(5)-labelled anthocyanin, [6,8,10,3',5'-(13)C(5)]cyanidin-3-glucoside chloride, for use in human stable-isotope tracer studies.
