Regioselective tritiation of benzoic acid and its alkali metal salts

  • 1. Chiba Univ., Yayoi Chiba (Japan). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

Benzoic acid, lithium benzoate, and sodium benzoate were tritiated with virtually 100% regioselectivity in the ortho-positions by the T-for-H exchange reaction with HTO in the presence of RhCl3.3H2O. The labelling of both alkali metal salts was favored by a factor of about 3 over that of benzoic acid. Methyl benzoate was essentialy inactive in the present reaction.
