Abstract
Incorporation of a stable isotope‐labelled methylthio group into the mustard 2‐chloroethyl methyl sulfide 2 was complicated by concomitant reaction with iodide ion, a necessary byproduct from the precursor stable isotope‐labelled iodomethane. A two step procedure was therefore employed, initial displacement with mercaptoethanol 4 being followed by chlorination with thionyl chloride.

## Abstract [2‐^13^C, 2‐^14^C]2‐Aminoethanol hydrochloride was prepared in good yield from Na\*CN in a two step sequence by first converting the Na\*CN to OHCH~2~\*CN and then reducing the nitrile directly with a solution of borane‐tetrahydrofuran complex. The reaction procedure was simple and the
