## Abstract A method to prepare [1‐^11^C]propyl iodide and [1‐^11^C]butyl iodide from [^11^C]carbon monoxide via a three step reaction sequence is presented. Palladium mediated formylation of ethene with [^11^C]carbon monoxide and hydrogen gave [1‐^11^C]propionaldehyde and [1‐^11^C]propionic acid.

Abstract
A method for the production of two new carbon‐11 labelled difunctional radiolabelling precursors, [^11^C]diethyl oxalate, 2, and [^11^C]oxalic acid, 3, is described. Methyl chloroformate was reacted with no‐carrier‐added [^11^C]cyanide to generate the intermediate nitrile, methyl [^11^C]cyanoformate. Alcoholysis with HCl in ethanol generated 2, with could subsequently be converted to 3, with aqueous acid. The total time of preparation from end‐of‐trapping of [^11^C]cyanide was 6‐7 min using combined microwave and thermal treatment or, by exclusively thermal treatment, 15 and 20 min for 2 and 3, respectively. The radiochemical conversion of [^11^C]cyanide to 2 and 3 was ∼80% and ∼70%, respectively. Both 2 and 3 were used in a model reaction with 1,2‐phenylenediamine to synthesize the heterocyclic compound, 2,3‐dihydroxyquinoxaline, a basic structural unit in antagonists for the excitatory amino acid receptor system.
