Abstract
Two preparations of carbon‐14 labelled 4‐amino‐3‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐butyric acid are described : First, the label is introduced in the 3‐position of the butyric acid chain in nine steps, starting from ^14^CO~2~. The total radiochemical yield is 30%, calculated from the first labelled intermediate, i.e. 4‐chlorobenzoic acid. Second, the ^14^C‐atom is incorporated in the 4‐position of the acid chain through three steps only, using K^14^CN as starting material with a yield of 39%.
Synthesis of the title compound labelled with tritium in the benzene nucleus is performed by catalytic bromine‐tritium exchange, affording a product with a specific radioactivity of 9.38 Ci/mmol. The des‐chloro compound which is obtained as a by‐product, is separated by column chromatography.
