Abstract
Boron tribromide has been assessed as a catalyst for rapid tritium labeling of organic compounds using tritiated water under mild conditions. Alkyl and halogen substituted aromatics labeled rapidly, the labeling being most pronounced in the ortho and para positions. Compounds containing electrophilic deactivating groups were found to be difficult to label. Very little byproduct formation was observed.
