Abstract

The necine base retronecine (1a), common to numerous toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, has previously been labelled with 3H at C-9 for use in metabolic studies. The current method for labelling retronecine is inefficient, and we report here an improved method of which utilizes the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent. Characterization of the resulting aldehyde (2) is described. The overall yield of C9-2H-retronecine (1b) is 71% (from 1a).
