Abstract
Protection of the terminal alkyne function in 1‐(4‐ethynylphenyl)‐4‐(prop‐2‐enyl)‐2,6,7‐trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane with a trimethylsilyl group permits the selective catalytic reduction of the olefin moiety with tritium gas to give after deprotection 1‐(4‐ethynylphenyl)‐4‐[2,3‐^3^H~2~]propyl‐2,6,7‐trioxabicyclo‐[2.2.2]octane. The labeled product at high specific activity is an improved radioligand for the GABA‐gated chloride channel of insects and mammals and the intermediate 4‐[2,3‐^3^H~2~]propyl‐1‐[4‐[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]phenyl]‐2,6,7‐trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane is useful for studies on the metabolic activation of this selective proinsecticide.
