Abstract
(S)‐Fenvalerate (α‐cyano‐3‐phenoxybenzyl) (S)‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐methylbutyrate, a novel insecticide, was labelled with carbon‐14 individually at the carbonyl (1a), the cyano (1b) and the alcoholic methyne (1c) carbons for use in metabolic studies. Isopropylation of 4‐chlorophenylacetonitrile‐^14^C with isopropyl bromide followed by hydrolysis gave racemic 2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐methylbutyric‐1‐^14^C acid, which on optical resolution with (−)‐1‐phenylethylamine gave the (S)‐acid. Esterification of the (S)‐acid with α‐cyano‐3‐phenoxybenzyl bromide gave 1a in 18% yield from potassium cyanide‐^14^C. Esterification of α‐cyano‐^14^C‐3‐phenoxybenzyl alcohol with (S)‐2‐4‐chlorophenyl‐3‐methyl‐butanoyl chloride (9) gave 1b in 65% yield. Condensation of 3‐phenoxybenzaldehyde‐(carbonyl‐^14^C), prepared from 3‐phenoxybenzoic‐^14^ C acid, with 9 and sodium cyanide gave 1c in 54% yield from barium carbonate‐^14^C.
