Abstract
Enantiomers of metoprolol containing six deuterium atoms in the isopropyl methyl groups were prepared in two steps from the sodium salt of 4โ(2โmethoxyethyl)phenol (3) and the commercially available (2__R__)โ and (2__S__)โglycidyl 3โnitrobenzenesulfonates [(2__R__)โ2 and (2__S__)โ2]. The resulting (2__R__)โ and (2__S__)โepoxides were opened using [^2^H~6~]โisopropylamine. The enantiomeric excesses were 93 and 95% for the deuterated (2__R__)โ and (2__S__)โenantiomers of metoprolol [(2__R__)โ1 and (2__S__)โ1], respectively, as determined by chiral column HPLC.
