A fast and efficient route to 32 P‐labeled intermediates on the purine biosynthetic pathway is described. Adenosine kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICARs) to give [ 32 P]‐5‐aminoimidazole‐4‐carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR). This was then hydrolyzed to [ 32 P]‐4‐carboxy‐5‐aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (CAIR). Treatment of CAIR with N5‐CAIR mutase gave [ 32 P]‐5‐aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) in milligram quantities.
