A five‐step synthesis of the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid ( 1 ) labelled with 15 N is reported in an overall yield of 10%. The stable isotope 15 N was introduced in the pyridine part by reaction of 15 NH 3 with coumalic acid methyl ester ( 2 ) to 15 N ‐hydroxy nicotinic acid ( 3 ) followed by further reactions to 15 N ‐2‐chloro‐5‐(chloromethyl) pyridine ( 6 ) which was coupled with N ‐nitroimidazolidin‐2‐imine to yield 1 .
