The reduction of ethyl phenylpropiolate by lithium aluminum hydride results in partial reduction of the triple bond to give trans-cinnamyl alcohol. If ethyl phenylpropiolate is reduced by LiAlD4 followed by work-up with acetone and H2O the product is the specifically labeled compound, trans-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol-1,1,2-d3. If the ester is reduced with LiAlH4 followed by work-up with acetone-d6 and D2O the product is trans-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol-O,3-d2. Oxidation of these two products by sodium ruthenate leads to formation of trans-cinnamic acid-α-d and trans-cinnamic acid-β-d, respectively.
