Abstract
The site-specific natural abundance deuterium distribution of 2-phenyl ethanol (1) and 2-phenylethyl acetate (2) obtained through a variety o f methods has been determined by H-2 NMR spectroscopy. This technique provided a means of distinguishing between ''natural'' materials isola ted from natural sources or obtained by biodegradation of L-phenylalan ine and other products of petrochemical origin or obtained from natura l L-phenylalanine through nonenzymic controlled chemical processes.
