Abstract
The total synthesis of [10‐^13^C]bilirubin IXα, the principal waste product of haem degradation, is described. Site specific labelling was accomplished by the Vilsmeier formylation of one of the dipyrrolic fragments using [1‐^13^C]dimethylformamide. The penultimate dehydrohalogenation reaction was complicated by a competing elimination reaction which yielded a bridged biliverdin derivative. [10‐^13^C]bilirubin IXα was prepared in an overall yield of 6% (from the step where ^13^C was introduced) with quantitative isotopic incorporation.
