Abstract
Robust and straightforward methods are described for the first syntheses of highly pure ^13^C‐ and ^14^C‐labelled L‐5‐benzylhydantoin (L‐BH) and L‐5‐indolylmethylhydantoin (L‐IMH) by cyclizing the amino acids L‐phenylalanine and L‐tryptophan, respectively, with potassium cyanate. [3‐^13^C]‐L‐phenylalanine was used to prepare [6‐^13^C]‐L‐BH and [indole‐2‐^13^C]‐L‐tryptophan was used to prepare [indole‐2‐^13^C]‐L‐IMH, which we required for solid‐state NMR experiments with a hydantoin transport protein. The successful incorporation and integrity of the ^13^C labels was confirmed by solution‐state NMR spectroscopy. [^14^C]Potassium cyanate was used to prepare [2‐^14^C]‐L‐BH and [2‐^14^C]‐L‐IMH, which we required for transport assays with the protein. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract The synthesis of selectively ^14^C‐labeled l‐tryptophan and its derivative 5‐hydroxy‐l‐tryptophan using chemical and multienzymatic methods is reported. The mixture containing [1‐^14^C[‐dl‐alanine, indole or 5‐hydroxyindole has been converted to [1‐^14^C]‐l‐tryptophan or 5′‐hydroxy‐[1‐^
6-14C]Nitrendipine synthesis started from barium[14]carbonate, which was converted to [ 1-14C] acetyl chloride. The acid chloride was condensed with Meldrum's acid (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione). The resulting intermediate was treated with boiling methanol to give methyl [ 3-14C]acetoacetate.
Aniline (IV), specifically 13C labeled in the 4-or in the 3,5-position (IVa and IVb), has been synthesized with 55% yield from I3C labeled pnitrophenol (11). The reduction of the NO2 group and the removal of the OH group was performed in one step by reduction and hydrogenolytic cleavage o f p-nitrop
Synthesis of 3-(dichloroacetyl)-5-(2-furanyl)-2,2-dimethy~oxazolidine ( common name: furilazole) labeled with carbon-14 and carbon-13 are described. Two routes for the synthesis of labeled trimethylsilyl cyanide, a precursor to furilazole, are described. One method can be carried out on milligram sc
