## Abstract [4″‐^3^H]‐2‐(1‐[2″,6″‐Dichlorophenoxy]‐ethyl‐Δ^2^‐imidazoline) was prepared from [4‐^3^H]‐2,6‐dichlorophenol in two different ways. By reaction of 2,6‐dichlorophenol with 2‐(α‐chloroethyl)‐Δ^2^‐imidazoline, the radiochemical yield, at a specific activity of 173.9 mCi/mmole, was 12.8 %.

Abstract
The synthesis of the d~4~‐forms of rac‐ and R‐lofexidine was accomplished. Two methods are described; one method is a two‐step synthesis of rac‐d~4~‐lofexidine from 2‐chloropropionitrile, the second method is a three‐step preparation of R‐d~4~‐lofexidine in absolute enantiomeric purity from S‐methyl lactate. The commercial availability of R‐methyl lactate makes this latter enantioselective synthesis applicable also to the synthesis of S‐d~4~‐ lofexidine. These procedures also conserve the utilization of the relatively expensive [1,1′,2,2′‐^2^H~4~]ethylene diamine precursor. The availability of S‐ and R‐d~4~‐lofexidines will enable pharmacokinetic studies to be carried out to determine if differential in vivo metabolism of the two enantiomers of lofexidine occurs.
