Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of L‐[4‐^13^C]carnitine was achieved in 5 steps. The label was introduced from K^13^CN into an easily separated diastereomeric pair of 3‐deoxy‐D‐[1‐^13^C]aldohexoses. Reductive amination of the labeled aldohexose yielded the corresponding D‐1‐(dimethylamino)[1‐^13^C]alditol which was oxidized in two steps and alkylated with iodomethane to yield L‐[4‐^13^C]carnitine. The stereochemical integrity at C‐2 of the 3‐deoxy‐D‐[1‐^13^C]glucose precursor was maintained throughout the synthesis of L‐[4‐^13^C]carnitine.
