Two complementary radiosynthetic routes to the potent PNMT inhibitor 7,8‐dichloro‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline‐1‐ 14 C( 1 ) from 2,3‐dichlorobenzaldehyde‐ formyl ‐ 14 C( 4 ) are described. In the Pomeranz‐Fritsch sequence isoquinoline 6 was prepared from Schiff's base 5 . Catalytic hydrogenation of 6 (H 2 /PtO 2 ) furnished 1 in 28% radiochemical yield from 4 . In the aluminum chloride fusion sequence, 4 was converted via amino alcohol 7 to chloro amine 8 . Treatment of the latter with aluminum chloride/ammonium chloride (fusion, 190°C) yielded labeled 1 in 31% radiochemical yield from 4 .
