1.002 + R-R0) where R is the ratio in the sample in question and Ra is the ratio in unlabeled material. Good agreement was found between measurements of the two pairs of peaks. A fragment peak at m/e 127 is also observed, attributed to the loss of benzoyl group. The ratio 129/127 in all samples was within experimental error identical with that in unlabeled material. This establishes that the 180 label is in the carbonyl oxygen. First-order rate constants for exchange were evaluated as the slopes of plots of In (excess 180) vs. time.Acknowledgment.
