Abstract
As a major metabolite of methylphenidate (1, Ritalin), -threo-Ritalinicacid (2) is of clinical relevance. To this end -threo-ritalinicacid-D10HCl(3) was synthesized in seven steps with a purity of 99% and an isotopic purity ratio of D0/D10= 0% and a significant amount of the D9-D7isomers. Because practical ion monitoring is based on the ratio of D0/D10, the standard was found to be suitable for use as an internal standard in LC-MS/MS analysis of ritalinicacid and related compounds. The presence of significant amounts of the D9isomer prompted extensive structure elucidation work using LC-MS/MS scrambling and 1D, 2D, and qNMRtechniques.
