Abstract

Microwave enhanced hydrogenation reactions in which H2/D2/T2 gases are replaced by various formates proceed very rapidly; the pattern of labelling can be easily modified and the advantages are particularly noteworthy in the case of tritium where problems associated with handling T2 gas are avoided.
