Abstract

[Methyl‐^14^C]‐N‐methylputrescine was prepared from [^14^C]methylamine hydrochloride in five steps. Reaction of benzaldehyde and [^14^C]methylamine (10 mCi) followed by catalytic hydrogenation yielded [methyl‐^14^C]‐N‐methylbenzylamine. The key step in this process is the alkylation of [methyl‐^14^C]‐N‐methylbenzylamine in aqueous medium with 4‐bromobutyronitrile. The radiochemical purity of the final product after two successive catalytic hydrogenations was in excess of 97%. The radiochemical yields in two successive runs were 26 and 38%, based on starting [^14^C]methylamine, with specific activities of 22 and 23 mCi/mmol, respectively. This sequence provides a convenient and efficient regioselective radiosynthesis of [methyl‐^14^C]‐N‐methylputrescine.

The causes of carnitine deficiency syndromes are not completely understood, but decomposition of L-carnitine in vivo is likely t o be involved. Carnitine is metabolized to y-butyrobetaine, and crotonobetaine is probably an intermediate in this pathway. To validate experimentally the precursor-produc
