Analogues of [3H] Chloramphenicol for Photoaffinity Labeling

Abstract
The synthesis of [3H]chloramphenicol and its erythro-diastereoisomer with specific activities of 1.25 Ci/mmol and the further transformation of the [3H]chloramphenicol to a series of azido and diazo-substituted derivatives are described. The antibiotic activity of the compounds was considered insufficient for their use as photoaffinity labels.
