Abstract
The synthesis is given for three ring A tritiated camptothecin (CPT) analogs as biological probes in the study of the parent compounds which are of current widespread interest as potent anticancer agents. The strategy of catalytic tritolysis of aryl halide bonds was employed, and thus the preparations of the requisite precursors 9โchloroโ20(S)โCPT (9), 9โaminoโ10,12โdibromoโ20(S)โCPT (14), and 9โchloroโ10,11โmethylenedioxyโ20(S)โCPT (18) are given; catalytic tritiation of these respective precursors under polar, alkaline solvent conditions using palladium/carbon provides smooth conversion to [9โ^3^H]โ20(S)โCPT (10), 9โaminoโ[10,12โ^3^H]โ20(S)โCPT (15), and [9โ^3^H]โ10,11โmethylenedioxyโ20(S)โCPT (19).
