Synthetic approaches to regiospecifically mono‐ and dilabelled arenes

Abstract

Abstract A variety of methods for the preparation of selectively mono‐, di‐ or tri‐labelled arenes are reviewed. The review concentrates on those for which the application to labelled synthesis has been demonstrated. Further methods, the application of which to labelled synthesis appears viable but which have not been reduced to practise, are included also. The available methods provide a range of substitution patterns. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
