Preparation of carbon 14‐labelled “Spy Dust”, 5‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐2,4‐[5‐ 14 C]pentadienal is described. The facile synthesis of 4‐nitro[formyl‐ 14 C]benzaldehyde from 1‐iodo‐4‐nitrobenzene by reaction with K 14 CN/CuCN, followed by reduction with diisobutylaluminum hydride provided this key intermediate in 50% yield. Subsequent treatment with the resonance‐stabilized ylide, formylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane, afforded the title compound.
