As a model for the tritium labelling of peptides the catalytic deuteration of N-acetyl-OL-3,4-dehydroproline amide was investigated by means of mass spectrometric measurements. The unwanted incorporation of hydrogen instead of deuterium, found especially in the presence of water, was compensated par

Abstract
For optimizing the catalytic tritiation of peptides, the catalytic deuteration of buserelin and DhP^9^βbuserelin^1^ in DMA after reaction of DhP^9^βbuserelin were comparable in both solvents. The nonspecific incorporation of deuterium found after deuteration of buserelin was clearly lower after reaction in DMA. Tritiation of DhP^9^βbuserelin in DMA using 85% tritium gas, with conditions optimized by the deuteration experiments, resulted in a specific radioactivity of 1.3 TBq/mmol. 72 and 13 percent of the incorporated radioactivity were found to be associated with proline and histidine, respectively, after acidic hydrolysis.

amide solvent hydrogen was incorporated instead of deuterium up to an order of 70%. The major part of the solvent hydrogen was shown to be introduced into the reaction product independently of the dilution of the reacting gas. This direct transfer depends on type of solvent and catalyst and on the c
