## Abstract A convenient synthesis with analytical monitoring of ^14^C‐cotinine is reported. ^14^C‐Nicotine was converted into ^14^C‐dibromocotinine hydrobromide perbromide. Debromination, achieved by using Zn dust/acetic acid, resulted in high yields (71%) of ^14^C‐cotinine.

✦ Synopsis
The synthesis and purification of 14C-cotinine is reported.
14C-nicotine is converted into 14C-dibromocotinine. Debromination of the latter results in 14C-cotinine which is purified by high performance liquid chromatography.
The total radioactive yield of the synthesis is 44.8 %.
Starting from 5 0 0 pCi 14C-nicotine, 224 pCi 14C-cotinine is obtained with a specific activity of 0,23 mCi/mmol.

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
