Abstract:SummarvTritium lahelled bumetanide of high specific activity (16 Ci/mmol) has been prepared in our lahoratory by tris(tripheny1phosphine) rhodium chloride catalyzed reduction of an olefinic precursor with carrier free tritium pas in benzene-ethanol (1:l). The product is labelled in the N-butyl side chain. Comparison of both heterogeneous palladium and homogeneous rhodium catalyzed deuterium reductions as a model for the tritiation revealed that the latter reduction was accompanied by considerably less label sc… Show more
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.
