H-3-Sch 47949, racemic H-3-Sch 48461, was prepared at a specific activ
ity of 40 mCi/mmole by Pt catalysed exchange with tritiated water. H-3
-Sch 48461 was prepared at a specific activity of 64.6 Ci/mmole by a P
d/C catalysed reduction of an olefinic intermediate. C-14-Sch 48461 wa
s prepared in 8 steps from C-14-potassium cyanide with an overall radi
ochemical yield of 18.5%.
