SUMNARYIn an efficient three-step synthesis L3H] glycerol was converted into d-tosyl-[3H]glycerol (yield: 77%), from which [34 iohexol was prepared in an overall radiochemical yield of 25% and a specific activity of 400 pCi/mmol. Performing the synthesis on a microscale, the overall yield decreased to only 4%, but a 99% pure [3H] iohexol with a specific activity of 1 Ci/mmol was obtained.
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.
