Abstract
The one‐step synthesis of ^14^C‐methyl(acetoxymethyl)nitrosamine (^14^C‐DMN‐OAc) of high specific activity is described. The product was shown to decompose by hydrolysis, as reported previously for the unlabelled material, and by self‐radiolysis, a process which occurred even in methylene chloride solution at high specific activities. Both modes of decomposition led to disappearance of label from the solution, at least partly by sorption to the glass storage vessel. Thin‐layer chromatography proved less suitable for resolving the decomposition products than radio‐gas chromatography. Labelled carbon atoms were found to the extent of only 1% in the formaldehyde produced on esterase hydrolysis of ^14^C‐DMN‐OAc, showing that scrambling during the synthesis was not extensive. Storage of aqueous solutions for biological work was best accomplished in frozen aqueous solutions of pH 5.5.

## Abstract A scheme is developed for synthesizing ^14^C labelled α‐acetates of secondary α‐hydroxylated nitrosamines. In this manner ^14^C‐methyl (1‐acetoxy)ethyl nitrosamine and 1‐^14^C‐ethyl (1‐acetoxy)ethyl nitrosamine are synthesized in 16.3 and 33.3% yield, radiochemically pure.
## Abstract The preparation of the title compunds, using β‐ionone, is accomplished in fair overall radiochemical yield from (2‐^14^C) bromacetic acid, in 7 and 8 steps respectively. The sequence utilises ylid reactions of the phosphonoacetate derived from bromacetic ester, and is also capable of th
## Abstract A synthetic procedure for C‐14‐labeled N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosoaniline is presented. Separate labeling of the methyl and phenyl side chains was achieved by using C‐14‐labeled methyl iodide and aniline, respectively. The overall yield of the four reactions was 62% and the final products were s
