Abstract
The method for the synthesis of DL‐(1‐^14^C)valine (reaction of ethyl N‐(1‐phthalimido)‐isobutyl‐1‐carbamate with K^14^CN in ethyl alcohol, followed by acidic hydrolysis of the labelled nitrile) reported by Egyed et al. (Acta Chim. Hung. 38: 123, 1963) was studied. The yield of valine could be increased to 75‐80 % by using dry isopropyl alcohol and extending the hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid‐acetic acid to 36 hours. This is better than or comparable to the yields obtained with the Strecker or Bucherer methods. Since the replacement of the phthalimido ring with cyanide proved to be of the S~N~1 type, a stereospecific synthesis of L‐ or D‐(1‐^14^C)valine was not possible.
