Tritium-labeled 9,10-oleic acid was prepared from stearolic acid by reduction with H/sup 3/ gas, in the presence of 5% palladium-on-charcoal catalyst, at room temperature and under partial vacuum. No stearic or elaidic acids were formed. Unreacted stearolic acid was removed by low temperature crystallization from Skellysolve F. The H/sup 3/-labeled cis 9,10-oleic acid was prepared with a specificity of greater than 90% of the activity at the 9 and l0 positions. Specific radioactivity of the oleic acid was 1000 mc H/sup 3//g. (TCO)
