β¦ Synopsis
The title compound is obtained from sodium acetate-1 -C by a shorter synthesis than the usual one . In the last step, acetyl chloride-1 J3C is reduced by tri- 13 butyltin hydride with palladium(0) complexe .
Kev word.
Ethanal, Carbon labelling Ethanal has a widespread use in synthesis of labelled compounds . We needed the 113 C enriched compound for preparation and spectroscopic study 13 of thiazolidines-2-C , so it seems of interest to improve the yields of its preparation .

Ethanal-l-C is generally obtained by reaction of sodium acetate-1 3C with an acyl chloride , reduction of the acetyl chloride to the labelled ethanol and oxidation of the alcohol 1 .
Since the Rosenmund process2, many reagents have been used to achieve the one-step reduction of acyl chlorides to aldehydes . Included among these were organosilicon hydrides3 , tri-tert-butoxyaluminium hydride ' , bis

## Abstract A synthesis of the title compound from ^13^CO~2~ is described. The final step utilizes lithium hexamethyldisilazide as a base in the double dehydrobromination of 1,2βdibromoethaneβ1β^13^C. Some alternative procedures are discussed.
Various routes to fbnctionalized benzenes labelled in position 1 were compared. 1-[ 13Cl-Bromobenzene has been synthesized in 7 steps with an overall yield of 5.4% from [ I 3C]-BaC03, by optimizing the direct transformation of p-nitrophenol into bromobenzene.

## Abstract At 495Β°C and a low extent of reaction, ethanal pyrolysis is slightly inhibited by the addition of small quantities of butadieneβ1,3, whereas it is accelerated by more important quantities. The inhibiting effect is interpreted in terms of a freeβradical chain mechanism in which the main
