β¦ Synopsis
A wide range of simple organic substrates has been successfully tritium labelled using reduced platinum oxide as catalyst. Exchange conditions involved reaction temperatures in the range 60-15OoC, and reaction times of 3-7 days. The isotope sources for the reactions were tritium gas and tritiated water. Analysis of the labelled products was accomplished by radio-glc and by 3H NMR spectroscopy. The specific activities ranged up to 1100 mCi/mL, and most of the labelled products showed high radiochemical purity. The regioselectivity of tritium incorporation, as obtained from 3H NMR studies, supports currently accepted theories for mechanisms of platinum-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange. The results also show remarkable consistency for a heterogeneous system under widely varying reaction conditions.
