Abstract

Abstract Synthesis of 4-[2-(5, 5, 8, 8-tetramethyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-[1, 3] dioxolan-2-yl]-benzoic acid or SR11237, a specific ligand of Retinoid X Receptors, is described in a 3 H-labelled version. The labelled retinoid was prepared in 5 steps and tritium was introduced through a final reduction of an aromatic dihalide moiety with 3 H 2.© 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
