Samples of β-alanine stereospecifically labeled with deuterium in each of the four C–H bonds have been synthesized; these been used to show that, in the first step of uracilmetabolism, the pyrimidine is reduced by dihydrouracildehydrogenase with overall trans-addition of hydrogen at the si-face at C-6 and the si-face at C-5.
