Two mechanochemical procedures for 17O/18O-isotope labeling of fatty acids are reported: a carboxylic acid activation/hydrolysis approach and a saponification approach. The latter route allowed first-time enrichment of important polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Overall, a total of 9 pure labeled products were isolated in high yields (≥80%) and with high enrichment levels (≥37% average labeling of C=O and C-OH carboxylic oxygen atoms), under mild conditions, and in short time (<half day).
