- Abstract
A scalable and versatile methodology for production of vinylated carboxylic compounds with 13C isotopic label in C1 position is described. It allowed synthesis of vinyl acetate-1-13C, which is a precursor for preparation of 13C hyperpolarized ethyl acetate-1-13C, which provides a convenient vehicle for potential in vivo delivery of hyperpolarized acetate to probe metabolism in living organisms. Kinetics of vinyl acetate molecular hydrogenation and polarization transfer from para-hydrogen to 13C via magnetic field cycling were investigated. Nascent proton nuclear spin polarization (% PH) of ca. 3.3 % and carbon-13 polarization (% P13C) of ca. 1.8 % were achieved in ethyl acetate utilizing 50 % para-hydrogen corresponding to ca. 50 % polarization transfer efficiency. The use of nearly 100% para-hydrogen and the improvements of % PH of para-hydrogen-nascent protons may enable production of 13C hyperpolarized contrast agents with % P13C of 20-50 % in seconds using this chemistry.
