This paper will outline the mechanism of the Bischler–Napieralski cyclodehydration for the radiosynthesis of ( R )‐(‐)‐[6a‐ 14 C]apomorphine 1 . The carbon‐14 radiosynthesis of ( R )‐(‐)‐[6a‐ 14 C]apomorphine was first reported by Kitson and Knagg in May 2006. The Bischler–Napieralski cyclodehydration of 3,4‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrophenyl‐ N ‐phenethyl[carboxyl‐ 14 C]acetamide 5 was initiated using a mixture of P 2 O 5 /POCl 3 in refluxing toluene. This generated the endocyclic dehydration product 1‐(3,4‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrobenzyl)dihydro[1‐ 14 C]isoquinoline 4 . The Bischler–Napieralski endocyclic dehydration by‐product was identified from 1 H NMR and MS to be 3‐(6,7‐dimethoxyanthranil)‐dihydro[1‐ 14 C]isoquinoline 7 . The action of POCl 3 in acetonitrile on 3,4‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrophenyl‐ N ‐phenethyl[carboxyl‐ 14 C]acetamide 5 gave exclusively the exocyclic dehydration product 1‐(3,4‐dimethoxy‐2‐nitrobenzal)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro[1‐ 14 C]isoquinoline 8 .
