摘要

Here we report a general method for the measurement of C-13 kinetic isotope effects at natural abundance for reactions that yield two or more products concurrently. We use, as an example, a recently reported Co-catalyzed reaction between cyclopentene and 1-phenyl-1-propyne. High-precision intermolecular C-13 isotope effects are reported for both the formal [2+2] cycloaddition (major) and Alder-ene (minor) reaction products. Mechanistic possibilities that are in accord with observed isotope effect measurements are discussed.
