The Emergence of Carbon Isotope Exchange

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2019 Jul 15;58(29):9678-9680. doi: 10.1002/anie.201905368. Epub 2019 Jun 12.

Abstract

Significant progress in C-C bond activation with transition metals has recently enabled the development of several carbon isotope exchange reactions. These methods are based on C-C bond decarboxylative carboxylation reactions in the presence of selected transition metals and labelled carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

Keywords: C−C activation; carbon isotope exchange; catalysis; isotopic labelling.
