Abstract

Abstract A reactions sequence is described to prepare the enantiomers of Methadone-d 10. The proposed scheme allows to synthesize racemic Methadone-d 10 with 14% overall yield, starting from benzene-d 6.(-)-Methadone-d 10 hydrochloride is assigned the (R)-absolute configuration on the basis of its ORD curve.
