Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) (2h). It was cooled, filtered
through celite, and rinsed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated
and purified by column chromatography using 40% ethyl acetate in hexane

(3, 100 mg, 0.2 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added [13CD3]-2-methoxy-6-
(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine (4A) in 2 M sodium
carbonate solution (2mL, 4 mmol). The mixture was placed under vacuum
and purged with nitrogen alternatively for three times. After 20 min was
added bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II) chloride (20 mg, 0.03 mmol),
and the reaction was heated in 85°C oil bath overnight. The reaction was
diluted with ethyl acetate and water, and the layers were separated. The
organic extract was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to a crude
residue. It was purified by column chromatography, using a slow gradient
0–5% methanol in dichloromethane, to give yellow oil that solidified
overnight. Upon adding 2 mL methylene chloride, a tan solid precipitated.
The suspension was cooled in an ice bath for 30min then filtered and
washed with additional ice-cold methylene chloride (1.5mL). It was dried
under high vacuum to yield the desired compound 1A (70mg, 65%).

2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)ethyl oxime (13B, 227 mg, 0.46 mmol) was
added 3.0 M HCl solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature.
After 2 h, a brown cloudy solution was observed, and the completion of the
reaction was determined by LC-MS. To this mixture was added 5 mL of 5%
aq. NaHCO3 solution and 3 mL 1 N NaOH to make it basic (pH > 10). A tan
foamy suspension was formed, and after stirring at room temperature for
30 min, it was filtered and washed with 5 mL water. The tan solid was dried
under high vacuum overnight to give the title compound 3B (189 mg, 91%,
98.5% radiochemical purity).

The reaction was carried out in two separate batches. Into a microwave
glass vial (2–5mL), [14C(U)]-guanidine hydrochloride (9B, 195mg, 2 mmol,
50 mCi/mmol) was dissolved in 2-mL methanol. To this solution was added
1M of potassium t-butoxide in t-butyl alcohol, and the reaction mixture
turned cloudy and tan in color. After stirring for 15min, (R,E)-6-(2-bromo-
4-fluorophenyl)-3-(1-hydroxyethylidene)piperidine-2,4-dione (8, 450mg,
1.4mmol) and 1-propanamine (0.6mL, 7 mmol) were added, and the
mixture turned bright yellow. It was then submitted to microwave
irradiation for 1 h at 140 °C. A pressure of 7–8 barr was reported by the
microwave synthesizer. After the reaction was completed, all solvent was
removed, and upon adding water (7mL), a yellow solid precipitated out.
It was filtered, washed well with water, and dried under high vacuum to
obtain the desired compound (359mg, 74%, 96% radiochemical purity).

8-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one O-(S)-3,4-dihydroxybutyl oxime
(3B, 189 mg 0.41 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added 2-methoxy-6-(4,4,5,

(PPh3)2 (29 mg, 0.041 mmol) and 2 ml of 2 N solution of Na2CO3 in water.
The resulting mixture was heated at 90 °C overnight. The reaction mixture
was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL), and
filtered through celite. The filtrate was treated with water (5 mL), and the
layers separated. Aqueous extract was further washed with ethyl acetate
and the combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and
concentrated to brown oil. It was subjected to purification by column
chromatography using a gradient of methanol in methylene chloride up to
10%. Fractions of interest were combined and concentrated to yellow oil that
solidified under high vacuum (13.7 mCi). Upon adding 3 mL methylene
chloride, a precipitate was formed, and it was heated to reflux (more solvent
was added to dissolve all solids). The solution was cooled slowly to room
temperature and finally in ice bath for 2 h to afford a solid that was filtered
and dried under high vacuum (93 mg, 9.7 mCi, 96% radiochemical purity).
