Abstract
N-(3-oxo-4-hexenoyl) homoserine lactone was synthesized and then reduced with Wilkinson's catalyst in the presence of tritium gas to form N-[3-oxo-(4,5-3H2)-hexanoyl] homoserine locatone (45–55 Ci/mmol). The labelled compound was indistinguishable from the autoinducer for Vibrio fischeri luciferase [N-(3-oxohexanoyl) homosernine lactone] by high-performance liquid chromatography and it was biologically active.
