Abstract

(12,13‐^13^C~2~)Retinal, (13,14‐^13^C~2~)retinal, (19‐^13^C)retinal and (20‐^13^C)retinal (1) were prepared in a simple fashion in high yield via a consecutive strategy. The key step is the reaction of a N‐methoxy‐N‐methylamide with an alkyllithium or a Grignard reagent. The preparation of the required N‐methoxy‐N‐methylamide is discussed. In this scheme, only three commercially available ^13^C‐labeled starting materials (ethyl bromoacetate, acetonitrile and methyl iodide) are sufficient to construct retinals with any possible combination of ^13^C labeling in the conjugated tail end. This strategy is applicable to the preparation of many other conjugated systems, such as retinoids, carotenoids and polyenes.
