A new method is described for the quantitation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the immediate precursor of ethylene in plants. [2,2,3,3,- 2H 4]ACC has been synthesized and used as an internal standard for selected ion monitoring/isotope dilution quantitation of this compound in ripeni...
