Natural product labelling with tritium
摘要
This review describes the major technical approaches (in their approximate order of development) which have been devised to tritium label natural products. Specific topics include: an overview of tritium labelling strategy, the early Wilzbach tritiation, later alternate tritium exchange methods, catalytic tritium aromatic dehalogenation, catalytic olefin and alkyne tritium reduction, sodium borotritide reduction, use of [3H] methyl iodide and iridium catalyzed tritiation. Future directions for this continuing field are also proposed.
