## Abstract A simple, high‐yielding synthesis of dibutyl[^14^C]formamide ([^14^C]DBF; **1**) from ^14^CO~2~ was developed (__Scheme 1__): reaction of LiBEt~3~H and ^14^CO~2~ followed by aqueous workup gave H^14^CO~2~H in high yield. Conversion of the [^14^C]formic acid to **1** was effected by a st
