Iy. Nagaev et al., PREPARATION OF [5,6,8,9,14-H-3]HEPOXYLINES B-3 BY SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF ACETYLENE PRECURSORS, Radiochemistry, 37(3), 1995, pp. 242-243
The conditions for selective hydrogenation of methyl esters of eicosap
olyynic acids and their epoxy and hydroxy derivatives considerably dif
fer. Tritium-labeled hepoxylines were obtained with a molar radioactiv
ity of 2-4 PBq mol(-1) and in 15-20% yield by using Lindlar catalyst a
nd quinoline-benzene mixture.
