Isotope incorporation via organotin chemistry

The availability of specifically labeled organic compounds is important in the performance of a variety of chemical, biological, and medical studies. In recent years, the development of organometallic reagents has contributed substantially to the preparation of labeled compounds that were previously inaccessible. The versatility provided by organotin reagents, both in their synthesis and transformation, make these reagents among the more valuable for the labeling of aryl and alkenyl moieties. (author). 46 refs
