Synthesis of 3 H‐, 14 C‐ and 125 I‐labelled NNC 05‐1869 is described. The 3 H‐label was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of a carbon–carbon double bond with tritium gas, which after purification yielded 470 µCi [ 3 H]NNC 05‐1869 with a specific radioactivity of 36 Ci/mmol. 14 C‐labelling was accomplished in three steps, including a chiral HPLC separation, starting from ethyl 3‐[carboxyl‐ 14 C]piperidinecarboxylate ( 1 ). The overall radiochemical yield was 1.5 mCi of [carboxyl‐ 14 C]NNC 05‐1869 (14%) with a specific radioactivity of 55 mCi/mmol. Electrophilic aromatic iododestannylation of the tin‐precursor NNC 47‐4310 with Na 125 I resulted in a cis/trans mixture, which was separated on RP‐HPLC to give the two isomers in 20% and 22%, yield, respectively.
