Abstract
[2‐^14^C]‐Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) dihydrochloride, [^14^C]‐mitoguazone, 3, has been prepared in three steps from potassium [1‐^14^C]‐acetate in an overall radiochemical yield of 16%. The key steps in this procedure are the formation of the sodium salt of [acetone‐2‐^14^C]‐methylsulfinylacetone, 5, and Pummerer rearrangement to the [^14^C] labelled hemithioacetal, 6, which is trapped with two equivalents of aminoguanidine to afford the desired [^14^C] mitoguazone, 3.

## 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).
## Abstract [2‐^14^C]Methylglyoxal and S‐D‐[2‐^14^C]lactoylglutathione were synthesised from [2‐^14^C]acetone. Acetone was oxidised to methylglyoxal by selenium dioxide and was purified by distillation (yield: 23% based on acetone). Methylglyoxal was converted to S‐D‐lactoylglutathione by reaction
