Abstract
Trans‐ionylidineacetaldehyde‐1‐^3^H (3) was obtained by reduction of unlabeled aldehyde (1) with lithium borotritide, followed by reoxidation of the tritio alcohol (2). Condensation of aldehyde (3) with triethyl 3‐methyl‐4‐phosphonocrotonate (7), followed by saponification of the retinoic ethyl ester (8), afforded trans‐retinoic‐11‐^3^H acid (9). Esterification of the crystalline acid with diazomethane, and subsequent reduction of the methyl trans‐retinoate‐11‐^3^H with lithium aluminum hydride, yielded trans‐retinol‐11‐^3^H, which was acetylated in situ to give trans‐retinyl‐11‐^3^H acetate (10).
