An abbreviated synthesis of isotopically labelled salmeterol has been achieved. The key improvement utilizes a highly selective Cs 2 CO 3 ‐mediated one‐pot alkylation of benzylamine by 6‐bromo‐1‐(4′‐phenylbutoxy)hexane to prepare the limiting reagent, 6‐ N ‐benzylamino‐1‐(4′‐phenylbutoxy)hexane without overalkylation. The method was applied to synthesis of the title compounds in >97 at% isotopic purity. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
