First preparation of mitomycins specifically labeled with deuterium at the C6-methyl position

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00295a051

The C⁶-methyl group of mitomycins was specifically labeled with deuterium. 7,7-(Ethylenedioxy)mitomycin (8), a masked quinonoid compound derived from mitomycin A (2), played an important role in this methodology.
