H-3-mometasone furoate was synthesized by a six step procedure. The label was introduced via the reduction and re-oxidation of the 1,2 double bond in the A ring. The remaining 4 steps were accomplished with on overall radiochemical yield of 28%. Analysis by H-3 nmr indicated that most of the label (almost-equal-to 95%) was located in the 2-position and the remainder in the 1-position.
