Organic compounds labeled with hydrogen isotopes play a crucial role in numerous areas, from materials science to medicinal chemistry.
Indeed, the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium gives rise to improved absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties in drugs and enables the preparation of internal standards for analytical mass spectrometry, etc. The enrichment of organic molecules with deuterium and tritium isotopes is the topic of discussion in today’s article. The full text is available here.
Of course, George couldn’t leave you without a compound set. And today we have even two!
