Abstract

Abstract A convenient synthesis of high specific activity [1-14 C] 3-N, N- dimethylaminopropylamine 10 is described. The reaction between [14 C] KCN and N, N- dimethyl bromoacetamide 7 afforded [nitrile-14 C] N, N-dimethyl cyanoacetamide 8. Stepwise reduction of 8 provided 99% pure 10 in 59% overall radiochemical yield. The specific activity was 53.3 mCi/mmol.© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
