[ 11 C]Nitromethane was prepared by modifying previously published procedures. Nitrogen oxides contaminating the [ 11 C]nitromethane were removed by a heated sodium carbonate plug. An asymmetric nitroaldol reaction was performed using a lanthanum–lithium–( R )‐binol (LLB) complex as catalyst. 1‐Nitro‐4‐phenylbutan‐2‐ol was produced in a reaction between [ 11 C]nitromethane and 3‐phenyl‐propionaldehyde in 16% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and a radiochemical yield of 23%.
