This paper describes the synthesis of deuterium‐labeled pregabalin. The stable isotopic‐labeled compound was obtained in nine steps starting from the commercially available 4‐[ 2 H 11 ]methylvaleric acid as the stable‐labeled reagent. It is used as an internal standard for analysis and metabolic studies. Pregabalin labeled with 2 H was obtained in nine steps using the commercially available 4‐[ 2 H 11 ]methylvaleric acid as the stable‐labeled reagent. The synthesis prevents deuterium from scrambling and offers the labeled compound with over 99% isotopic enrichment. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
