J Labelled Comp Radiopharm. 2015 Nov-Dec;58(13-14):479-82. doi: 10.1002/jlcr.3355. Epub 2015 Nov 2.

Abstract

A novel synthetic route to stable deuterium labeled ractopamine was disclosed with 6.49% total yield and 97.7% isotopic abundance. Its structure and the isotope-abundance were confirmed according to (1)H-NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Keywords: deuterium labeling; drug standards; ractopamine; β-adrenergic agonists.
