The potent β ‐lactam antibiotic mecillinam has successfully been labelled with tritium. 2,3,4,7‐Tetrahydro‐1H‐azepin‐1‐carbaldehyde was formed in a ring‐closing metathesis reaction and then condensed with trimethylsilyl protected penicillanic acid to give dehydro‐mecillinam. Pd/C catalysed tritiation then gave [ 3 H 2 ]‐mecillinam (6‐ β (([3,4‐ 3 H 2 ]hexahydro‐1H‐azepin‐1‐yl)methyleneamino)penicillanic acid) with a radiochemical purity of 96% and a specific activity of 24 Ci/mmol.
