description

Tritium-labelled (E)- and (Z)-2,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl oxirane 4, (E)- and (Z)-2-methyl-3-phenyl oxirane 7 and 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl oxirane 11 have been prepared by reduction of the corresponding bromoketones with sodium borotritide to the corresponding bromohydrins followed by cyclization to the oxiranes. These oxiranes were successfully used as diagnostic substrates to distinguish between different forms of epoxide hydrolase and glutathione transferase.
