## Abstract The synthesis of ^15^N‐labelled nornicotine **2** and ^15^N‐labelled nicotine **1** is described via the reductive aminocyclization of a 1,4‐ketoaldehyde with a corresponding amine in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride. Yields of 30% and 26%, respectively, were obtained from 3‐brom

✦ Synopsis
A new technique was developed for the large-scale synthesis of lSN-labelled urea at low enrichment levels. The synthesis is based on nucleophilic displacement of the phenoxide ion from phenyl carbonate and uses anhydrouli Pmmonia as the nucleophile. In previous reports a copper catalyst was used; hovever, in this study it was found that the copper resulted in pmduct decompadtion and tar formation, which makes product purification difficult. A novel set of -tioh conditions was developed: no catalyst was used, and no pmduct decomposition or tar formation occurred. The reaction product was easily purified, and consistently high yields of 15N-labelled urea were obtained. lSN-labelled methylenediurea was prepared by the dilute solution reaction of formalin with ISN-labelled urea. The methodology developed for the reclamation of unreacted urea resulted in minimum loss of labelled urea.
High performance liquid chromatography has been used to determkC the chemical purity of both urea and methylenediurea.

The synthesis of 15N labelled nylon 6 by anionic polymerization of Ecaprolactam is described. Labelling of this commercially important polymer should greatly enhance investigations of its morphology by techniques such as NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopies.
5-Nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-l,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO) has been synthesized in good yield with 15N at the 1 and 2 positions. The N-H coupling provides unequivocal assignments for I H and 15N NMR spectra and the acidic proton. The products of thermal decomposition at 270 O C were identified spectroscopical
