Synthesis of [3′‐ 14 C] coenzyme Q 10

Synthesis of [3′‐ 14 C] coenzyme Q 10

Radio‐labelled coenzyme Q 10 , labelled at the 3′‐position with 14 C, was synthesized starting from natural solanesol and ethyl [3‐ 14 C] acetoacetate. The radiochemical yield was 8.0% from ethyl [3‐ 14 C] acetoacetate. The specific radioactivity of the product was 44.8 μCi, 1.66 MBq/mg. The specifi...

Description
Summary:Radio‐labelled coenzyme Q 10 , labelled at the 3′‐position with 14 C, was synthesized starting from natural solanesol and ethyl [3‐ 14 C] acetoacetate. The radiochemical yield was 8.0% from ethyl [3‐ 14 C] acetoacetate. The specific radioactivity of the product was 44.8 μCi, 1.66 MBq/mg. The specific radioactivity and radiochemical purity are sufficiently high to enable us to use this labelled form of coenzyme Q 10 in metabolic studies. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
