Catalytic tritiations peptides

Of even more practical relevance is the incorporation of excess tritium during the catalytic tritiation of 4,5-dehydroleucine (A -Leu) and of peptides containing this precursor of [ HJleucine, leading to specific activities of up to 200 Ci/mmol. N-Boc-A -Leu (5) has been subjected to catalytic tritiation using palladium catalysts then the...
