An efficient method for the selective isotopic labeling of carboxylic acids is reported. By reacting an amino acid with excess carbodiimide and (OH2)-O-18, a kinetically enhanced multiple turnover reaction provides the O-18-labeled product in high yield and excellent isotopic enrichment. This reaction is fully compatible with standard Fmoc, Boc, Trt, and OtBu protecting groups and provides a means to selectively label the alpha-carboxylic acids of functionalized amino acids with stable oxygen isotopes.
