Abstract
THE synthesis of C14-labelled ethyl iodide on the 10–15 micromole scale has been described1, the scale being chosen so that high specific activity C14O2 could be used undiluted as starting material. The product would then contain about 6 microcuries of carbon-14 per micromole. On about the same scale, radioethyl iodide can without dilution be converted to radioethylmagnesium iodide by reaction in ethereal solution with a magnesium mirror.
