Abstract

A history and summary of iridium-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) is described. Owing to the wide range of applications served by installation of heavy and radioactive hydrogen isotopes, a wealth of synthetic labeling strategies have been forthcoming. Principle among all HIE methods are those developed using homogeneous iridium catalysts. This chapter covers major developments in (primarily homogeneous) iridium-centered catalysts for HIE. Connections to the broader fields of hydrogenation and C–H functionalization are also considered.
