Abstract: The syntheses of isotopically labelled (−)‐10‐[11C/13C]‐colchicine and (−)‐9‐[11C/13C]‐ isocolchicine have been achieved from the reaction of (−)desmethylcolchicine with [11C/13C]‐iodomethane. The radiolabelled compounds, (−)‐10‐[11C]‐colchicine (11C‐n‐colchicine) and (−)‐9‐[11C]‐isocolchicine (11C‐i‐colchicine), were isolated by reversed phase HPLC. The total synthesis time was approximately 60 minutes for both radiolabelled compounds with an average specific activity of 240 mCi/μmol calculated to EOB. Utilizing a similar synthetic strategy, we also report the synthesis of milligram quantities of the carbon‐13 enriched compounds and the magnetic resonance signal assignment for (−)‐9‐[13C] isocolchicine.
