The synthesis of deuterium‐labelled galanthamine is reported. 6‐[ 2 H 3 ]methoxy‐ N ‐[ 2 H 3 ]methyl‐(−)‐galanthamine was obtained in seven steps from galanthamine. The synthesis was carried out by selective O ‐ and N ‐demethylations. The [ 2 H 3 ]‐ N ‐methyl and [ 2 H 3 ]‐ O ‐methyl‐groups were introduced by selective aminoreduction and O ‐methylation.
