Abstract: The present invention is directed to labeled compounds, of the formulae wherein C* is each independently selected from the group consisting of 13C and 12C with the proviso that at least one C* is 13C, each hydrogen of the methylene group can independently be either hydrogen or deuterium, the methyl group includes either zero or three deuterium atoms, Q is from the group of sulfide, sulfinyl, and sulfone, Z is an aryl group from the group of 1-naphthyl, substituted 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, substituted 2-naphthyl, and phenyl groups with the structure wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently from the group of hydrogen, a C1-C4 lower alkyl, a halogen, and an amino group from the group of NH2, NHR and NRR? where R and R? are each independently from the group of a C1-C4 lower alkyl, a phenyl, and an alkoxy group, and the methyl group can include either zero or three deuterium atoms.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to asymmetric chiral labeled glycerols including at least one chiral atom, from one to two 13C atoms and from zero to four deuterium atoms bonded directly to a carbon atom, e.g., (2S)[1,2-13C2]glycerol and (2R)[1,2-13C2]glycerol, and to the use of such chiral glycerols in the preparation of labeled amino acids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a swimming fin comprising a shoe (1) prolonged by a blade, the blade of which is constituted by the assembly of at least one flexible blade element (2) and at least one stiffening blade element (3) which are arranged edge to edge and are rendered integral by the overmolding of an appropriate bonding material (4) over the adjacent edges. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing composite fins.
