T. Bailly et R. Burgada, A NEW SYNTHESIS OF 3,4,3-LI-1,2-HOPO (1,5 ,10,14-TETRA(1-HYDROXY-2-PYRIDONE-6 OYL)-1,5,10,14-TETRAAZATETRADECANE), COMPTES RENDUS DE L ACADEMIE DES SCIENCES SERIE II FASCICULE C-CHIMIE, 1(4), 1998, pp. 241-245
3,4,3 LI 1,2 HOPO is a very efficient ligand to remove actinides from
the body after simulated contamination. Unfortunately the synthesis is
not easy and the yield is small (15%). In this work we present a new
facile synthesis with a good yield based on a protection-deprotection
procedure of carboxyle and nitroxyde groups of the pyridone 1 and a ph
ase transfer reaction for the peptide coupling step. (C) Academie des
