RESUMO
The synthesis of a water-soluble, phosphine-pegylated iridium(I) catalyst and its application in hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions in buffer is reported. The longer polyethylene glycol side chains on the phosphine increased the water solubility independently from the pH. HIE reactions of polar substrates in protic solvents were studied. DFT calculations gave further insides into the catalytic processes. The scope and limitation of the pegylated catalyst was studied in HIE reactions of several complex compounds in borax buffer at pH 9 and the best conditions were applied in a tritium experiment with the drug telmisartan.
RESUMO
Tritium-labeled compounds are generally less stable than their non-labeled counterparts. This requires storage at low temperatures, a constant workflow of quality checks, and subsequent re-purifications. As the amount of tritium-labeled material is typically purified in the µg range, repeated injections on analytical-scale ultra high-performance liquid chromatography systems can provide high-resolution re-purification results. Yet, degradants can be undesirably included in the compound isolation because the amount of decomposition can vary dramatically depending on the structure. We report a case of a sensitive molecule that could not be isolated in pure form even though the chromatographic separation was successful. In this case, the use of a small-scale two-dimensional preparative liquid chromatography approach with a direct transfer interface to a second (trapping) column resulted in a highly pure compound (>98% radiochemical purity). This approach combines high chromatographic resolution, accurate control over the re-purification process, minimal sample manipulation, and higher overall safety for the handling of radioactive samples.

We have studied the photoredox-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reaction with deuterium or tritium gas as isotope sources and in situ formed transition metal nanoparticles as hydrogen atom transfer pre-catalysts. By this means we have found synergistic reactivities applying two different HIE mechanisms, namely photoredox-catalyzed and CH-functionalization HIE leading to the synthesis of highly deuterated complex molecules. Finally, we adopted these findings successfully to tritium chemistry.
RESUMO
We have studied the highly selective homogeneous iridium-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) with deuterium or tritium gas as an isotope source in water and buffers. With an improved water-soluble Kerr-type catalyst, we have achieved the first insight into applying HIE reactions in aqueous media with varying pH. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations gave consistent insights in the calculated energies of transition states and coordination complexes, further explaining the observed reactivity and guidance on the scope and limitations for HIE reactions in water. Finally, we successfully adapted these findings to tritium chemistry.
RESUMO
Hydrogen isotopically labelled compounds are essential diagnostic tools in drug research and development, as they provide vital information about the biological metabolism of drug candidates and their metabolites. Herein we report a photoredox-initiated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) protocol which efficiently and selectively introduces deuterium or tritium at C(sp3 )-H bonds, utilizing heavy water (D2 O or T2 O) as the hydrogen isotope source, and a guanidine base. This protocol has been successfully applied to the incorporation of deuterium in several amino acids (lysine, glycine and proline) and small peptides. Finally, the method has been applied to tritium, because tritium-labelled peptides are essential for application in biological experiments, such as ligand-binding assays, or absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies.

An assessment of the C-H activation catalyst [(COD)Ir(IMes)(PPh3 )]PF6 (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene, IMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) in the deuteration of phenyl rings containing different functional directing groups is divulged. Competition experiments have revealed a clear order of the directing groups in the hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) with an iridiumâ (I) catalyst. Through DFT calculations the iridium-substrate coordination complex has been identified to be the main trigger for reactivity and selectivity in the competition situation with two or more directing groups. We postulate that the competition concept found in this HIE reaction can be used to explain regioselectivities in other transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization reactions of complex drug-type molecules as long as a C-H activation mechanism is involved.
RESUMO
For the first time, a catalytic protocol for a highly selective hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) of phenylacetic acid esters and amides under very mild reaction conditions is reported. Using a homogeneous iridium catalyst supported by a bidentate phosphine-imidazolin-2-imine P,N ligand, the HIE reaction on a series of phenylacetic acid derivatives proceeds with high yields, high selectivity, and with deuterium incorporation up to 99 %. The method is fully adaptable to the specific requirements of tritium chemistry, and its effectiveness was demonstrated by direct tritium labeling of the fungicide benalaxyl and the drug camylofine. Further insights into the mechanism of the HIE reaction with catalyst 1 have been provided utilizing DFT calculations, NMR studies, and X-ray diffraction analysis.
RESUMO
Radiolabelled azidophenyl analogues can make powerful photoaffinity probes for the identification of molecular targets. We describe our efforts to prepare tritiated azidophenyl analogues of the taxols cabazitaxel and docetaxel. Late-stage tritiation by isotope exchange with diiodo precursors resulted in reduction of the azide moiety, which could only be overcome by addition of high excess of a sacrificial azide. Iodine-deuterium exchange experiments on a model system established that deiodination with concomitant azide reduction is a general problem when performing such isotope-exchange reactions on azide-containing aryl iodides.

For the first time, we describe highly selective homogeneous iridium-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) of unactivated C(sp3 ) centers in aliphatic amides. When using the commercially available Kerr catalyst, the HIE with a series of common antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) linker side chains proceeds with high yields, high regioselectivity, and with deuterium incorporation up to 99 %. The method is fully translatable to the specific requirements of tritium chemistry and its effectiveness was demonstrated by direct tritium labelling of a maytansinoid. The scope of the method can be extended to simple amino acids, with high HIE activity observed for glycine and alanine. In di- and tripeptides, a very interesting protecting-group-dependent tunable selectivity was observed. DFT calculations gave insight into the energies of the transition states, thereby explaining the observed selectivity and the influence of the amino acid protecting groups.
RESUMO
We have evaluated the commercially available Burgess catalyst in hydrogen isotope exchange reactions with several substrates bearing different directing group functionalities and have obtained moderate to high (50%-97%D) deuterium incorporations. The broad applicability in hydrogen isotope exchange reactions makes the Burgess catalyst a possible alternative compared to other commercially available iridium(I)-catalysts.

Diabetes affects an increasing number of patients worldwide and is responsible for a significant rise in healthcare expenses. Imaging of ß-cells in vivo is expected to contribute to an improved understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, improved diagnosis, and development of new treatment options for diabetes. Here, we describe the first radiosyntheses of [3 H]-TAK875 and [18 F]-TAK875 derivatives to be used as ß-cell imaging probes addressing the free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1/GPR40). The fluorine-labeled derivative showed similar agonistic activity as TAK875 in a functional assay. The radiosynthesis of the 18 F-labelled tracer 2a was achieved with 16.7 ± 5.7% radiochemical yield in a total synthesis time of 60-70 min.

The reactivity and selectivity of iridium(I) catalysed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions can be varied by using wide range of reaction temperatures. Herein, we have done a detailed comparison study with common iridium(I) catalysts (1-6) which will help us to understand and optimize the approaches of either high selectivity or maximum deuterium incorporation. We have demonstrated that the temperature window for these studied iridium(I) catalysts is surprisingly very broad. This principle was further proven in some HIE reactions on complex drug molecules.
RESUMO
The first examples of selective ortho-directed C-H activation with unprotected 2-aryltetrazoles are described. A new base-assisted protocol for iridium(i) hydrogen isotope exchange catalysis allows access to ortho-deuterated and tritiated tetrazoles, including the tetrazole-containing pharmaceutical, Valsartan. Preliminary mechanistic studies are also presented.
