Pulegone, menthone, and isomenthone isotopomers are synthesized as regioselectively deuterated d5- and d8-stereoisomers. Deuterium-labeled menthone and isomenthone enantiomers are analyzed using enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The deuterated stereoisomers of menthone and isomenthone are separated from the unlabeled menthone and isomenthone on a glass capillary column, coated with 50% octakis(2,3-di-O-butyryl-6-O-tertbutyldimethylsilyl)-γ-cyclodextrin in OV 1701vi as the chiral stationary phase. These deuterium-labeled monoterpene ketones are proved to be highly valuable substrates in biosynthetic studies of terpenoid compounds.
