The synthesis of two selectively labeled isotopomers of L‐phenylalanine, (Phe), using chemical and enzymatic methods is reported. The [3R‐ 3 H]‐L‐Phe isotopomer has been obtained from [3‐ 3 H]cinnamic acid prepared from benzaldehyde and malonic acid using tritiated water as a source of radioactive label, and by addition of ammonia in the presence of enzyme PAL. The [3S‐ 3 H]‐L‐Phe isotopomer has been synthesized by addition of ammonia to cinnamic acid in a buffered medium containing PAL and tritiated water. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
