Abstract
Protected morphine‐6‐glucuronide was converted into morphine‐[N‐methyl‐^14^C]‐6‐glucuronide by a three‐step procedure. Methyl (3‐pivaloylmorphin‐6‐yl 2,3,4‐tri‐O‐isobutyryl‐β‐D‐glucopyranosid)uronate was N‐demethylated by treatment with 1‐chloroethyl chloroformate to afford protected normorphine‐6‐glucuronide as its hydrochloride salt. The normorphine‐6‐glucuronide derivative was alkylated with iodomethane‐[^14^C] in the presence of potassium carbonate to produce C‐14 labelled protected morphine‐6‐glucuronide. Finally, hydrolysis of the protecting groups using 5% sodium hydroxide solution gave morphine‐[N‐methyl‐^14^C]‐6‐β‐D‐glucuronide with a specific activity of 41.8 mCi mmol^−1^ and radiochemical purity of 99.2% (HPLC).
