T. Shimada et al., A FACILE SYNTHESIS OF SODIUM 3-[1-C-14]-ETHYL-7-ISOPROPYL-1-AZULENESULFONATE, Journal of labelled compounds & radiopharmaceuticals, 34(1), 1994, pp. 79-83
Sodium 3-ethyl-7-isopropyl-1-azulenesulfonate 1, a new therapeutic age
nt for stomatitis, pharyngitis and ophthalmia was labelled with carbon
-14 in the ethyl group attached to the azulene ring for use in metabol
ic studies. C-14-labelled 1 with a specific activity of 1.98 GBq/mmol
was prepared in four steps in 39.3 % overall chemical yield from [1-C-
14]acetic acid sodium salt.
