Abstract
N‐sec‐Butyl O‐ethyl O‐(5‐methyl–2‐nitrophenyl) phosphoramidothioate (Cremart) (I), an organophosphorus herbicide, was labelled with carbon‐14 at the aryl methyl group for metabolic studies. The synthetic procedures are shown in Fig. 1. 1‐Methoxy‐3‐methyl‐^14^C‐benzene was nitrated with fuming nitric acid‐acetic anhydride to give 2‐methoxy‐4‐methyl‐^14^C‐1‐nitrobenzene which on O‐demethylation with boron tribromide gave 5‐methyl‐^14^C‐2‐nitrophenol. Condensation of the latter with N‐sec‐butyl O‐ethyl phosphoramidochloridothioate in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded Cremart‐(aryl methyl‐^14^C)(I) in the overall yield of 9.2% from methanol‐^14^C, which had a specifie activity of 5.96 mCi/mmole.
