The potent quorum sensing inhibitor (5 Z )‐4‐bromo‐5‐(bromomethylene)‐2(5 H )‐[2‐ 14 C]furanone has been prepared in five steps in 7.7% overall yield starting from bromo[1‐ 14 C]acetic acid. Condensation of ethyl bromo[1‐ 14 C]acetate with ethyl acetoacetate followed by decarboxylation was accelerated by microwave heating to afford [1‐ 14 C]levulinic acid. Subsequently, bromination and oxidation gave the targeted furan‐2‐one with a radiochemical purity of > 97% and a specific activity of 57 mCi/mmol. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
