Which isotope of hydrogen is used commonly as a tracer in organic reactions ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both deuterium and tritium can be used as tracers in organic reactions. However, tritium is not only radioactive but is also least abundant hydrogen isotope and therefore, deutorium is commonly used as tracer to study the mechanism of organic reactions.
