## Abstract Racemic, R‐ and S‐β‐hydroxybutyric acid were labelled with ^11^C in the carboxylic position by a two‐step stereospecific synthesis starting with carrier‐added [^11^C]cyanide and R/S, R‐ or S‐propylene oxide. Hydrolysis of the intermediate nitrile with hydrochloric acid gave racemic [1‐^

Abstract
1‐[^11^C]‐β‐hydroxybutyrate was produced by conversion from 1‐[^11^C]‐acetoacetate using (D)‐β‐hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide with purification by ion exchange column chromatography. Radiochemical yield at the end of the synthesis was 10% for a total synthesis time of 36 min. High‐performance liquid chromatography analysis showed ≤4% impurities, principally unconverted acetoacetate. Residual tetrahydrofuran (34±11 ppm) and ethanol (77±30 ppm) were well under the tolerable limits for human studies. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
