The synthesis of [2'-(13)C, 1,3-(15)N2]uridine 11 was achieved as follows. An epimeric mixture of D-[1-(13)C]ribose 3 and D-[1-(13)C]arabinose 4 was obtained in excellent yield by condensation of K13CN with D-erythrose 2 using a modification of the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis. Efficient separation of the two aldose epimers was pivotally achieved by a novel ion-exchange (Sm3+) chromatography method. D-[2-(13)C]Ribose 5 was obtained from D-[1-(13)C]arabinose 4 using a Ni(II) diamine complex (nickel chloride plus TEMED). Combination of these procedures in a general cycling manner can lead to the very efficient preparation of specifically labelled 13C-monosaccharides of particular chirality. 15N-labelling was introduced in the preparation of [2'-(13)C, 1,3-(15)N2]uridine 11 via [15N2]urea. Cross polarisation magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) solid-state NMR experiments using rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) were carried out on crystals of the labelled uridine to show that the inter-atomic distance between C-2' and N-1 is closely similar to that calculated from X-ray crystallographic data. The REDOR method will be used now to determine the conformation of bound substrates in the bacterial nucleoside transporters NupC and NupG.

L-(1-13C, 5-2H)Arabinose (6D) and L-(2-13C, 5-2H)arabinose (8D) have been synthesized by degradation of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-L-rhamnofuranose (2) to L-(4-2H)erythrose (5β, 5αD), with subsequent chain elongation to 6D plus L-(1-13C, 5-2H)ribose (7D), the latter being converted into 8D.Intermediates were identified by complete assignment of the 13C chemical shifts employing carbon-carbon and carbon-deuterium coupling constants, deuteration shifts, differential isotope-shifts, and deuterium spectra.The anomeric carbon atoms of 2 and 2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-(1-2H)erythrose (4D) gave only single 13C resonances, suggesting that these two compounds exists in only one major anomeric configuration, clarifying previously reported work.The synthesis of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-(1-2H)rhamnitol (3D) facilitated the assignment of the signals in the 13C spectra of the nondeuterated analog.Specific deuterium-enrichment and the observed carbon-deuterium coupling (1JC,D ca. 22 Hz) not only served to identify the deuterated carbon atom unambiguously in 3 but also permitted assignment of closely spaced resonances.The deuterium spectrum of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-(4-2H)erythrofuranose (4D) showed only a single resonance, indicating preponderance of one anomer, in accord with the observation of a single C-1 resonance in the 13C spectrum.
