The synthesis of n‐heptane‐1‐14C is described. starting from 14CH3I via (14CH3) 2Cd and caproyl chloride; for obtaining n‐heptane‐2‐14C, n‐pentyl bromide is converted into the Grignard reagent, carbonated with 14CO2, and the resulted coproic acid is converted into its chloride and treated with dimethyloadmium. In both cases the labelled n‐heptan‐2‐one is finally reduced to labelled n‐heptane by the Kishner‐Wolff method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
