A new method of labeling organic compounds with tritium is being developed and initial results are encouraging. tritiatium reagent, Th/sub 2/PO/ sub 4/ - BF/sub 3/, is used to exchange tritium for hydrogen. The experimental procedure is very simple. Tagging model compounds has demonstrated that aromatic hydrogen and hydrogen on tertiary carbon atoms are easily exchange-labeled whereas paraffinic hydrogen does not change. This method is more rapid, less involved, much less destructive to the parent tracer than the radiation induced self-labeling method for hydrocarbon labeling. Practically no highly tagged side products are generated and radio-chemically pure tracers are immediately duced. Any desired specific activity in the tracers can be prcduced. The level is primarily controlled by the amount of tritium used in making the tritiating reagent. Usable tracers are easily made in a day. (auth)
