TL;DR: In this paper, the 5-astatouracil was prepared via the decomposition of the 5diazonium salt of uracil in the presence of 211At− with overall yields ranging from 20 to 30%.
Abstract: 5-astatouracil was prepared via the decomposition of the 5-diazonium salt of uracil in the presence of 211At− with overall yields ranging from 20 to 30%. Identification and separation was carried out on four different high pressure liquid chromatography columns. Under identical conditions, astatination is more effective than iodination, and complex formation of halide with the diazonium compound seems to be the product forming mechanism.

TL;DR: By using a precursor peptide, containing 3,5-di-bromotyrosine in position 2 ([Dbt2]-α-melanotropin, the tedious work with highly active labelled intermediates, and the storage of the tritiated compound can be avoided.
Abstract: A novel synthesis of α-melanotropin labelled with tritium on the tyrosine residue ([Tyr-3, 5-3H2] -α-melanotropin) is described. First, a precursor peptide, containing 3,5-di-bromotyrosine in position 2 ([Dbt2]-α-melanotropin) is prepared, which can be converted into the labelled hormone by catalytic tritiation in the last step of the synthesis. By this procedure the tedious work with highly active labelled intermediates, and the storage of the tritiated compound. usually accompanied by significant autoradiolysis, can be avoided.

Abstract: 3H-Ochratoxins A, B, and C were obtained by tritiation of the toxins with tritiated water in acetic acid and platinum at 80° C overnight. The toxins were purified by solvent partition and thin layer chromatography with the recovery yield being 80% and the specific activity being 2.6 – 3.0 Ci/mmol.

TL;DR: The distribution of tritium atoms among component aminoacids has been determined, after acid hydrolysis of the labelled protein, and the specific radioactivity of purified samples is in the Curie/mmole range.
Abstract: When lyophilized samples of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease are exposed to tritium gas, the exchange process can be markedly improved by applying high frequency electric discharges. Labelling has been carried out for 5, 15 or 30 minutes periods. Labile radioactivity, was then removed by means of molecular sieving and repeated lyophilizations, the tritiated protein being submitted to further purification by ion-exchange chromatography. The specific radioactivity of such purified samples is in the Curie/mmole range, and the biological activity of the enzyme remains well preserved. The distribution of tritium atoms among component aminoacids has been determined, after acid hydrolysis of the labelled protein.
