## Abstract A two‐step synthesis of the title compound from [__cyano__‐^14^C]‐copper(I) cyanide is described. The method is extensible to the preparation of carbonyl‐labelled 3,4‐dihydroxybenzaldehyde.

✦ Synopsis
While [' 4C-carbonyll -methyl isocyanate has been used widely for the preparation of radioactive insecticidal methylcarbamates, yields are often low, and in some cases reactions completely unsuccessful, because of the sensitivity of the isocyanate to moisture. This paper described a process whereby the [14Cl-methyl isocyanate, in its break-seal container as received from the supplier, is reacted with the appropriate oxime or phenolic intermediate without exposing the isocyanate to atmospheric moisture. Results are presented for the insecticides carbaryl, carbofuran, aldicarb and methomyl demonstrating consistent yields of 85 to 95% using a procedure of uncommon simplicity.

## Abstract A convenient synthesis with analytical monitoring of ^14^C‐cotinine is reported. ^14^C‐Nicotine was converted into ^14^C‐dibromocotinine hydrobromide perbromide. Debromination, achieved by using Zn dust/acetic acid, resulted in high yields (71%) of ^14^C‐cotinine.
## Abstract A simple and convenient laboratory procedure is described by which hordenine (III), labelled at the carbon residing on the benzene ring, can be synthesized by decarboxylation of 3‐ [^14^C]‐tyrosine (1) and subsequent reductive methylation of the resulting tyramine (II).
