Abstract
Abstract Radioactive 2,4-dichlorophenyl methanesulfonate labeled with 14C and 35S has been synthesized because it was needed to facilitate the study of the metabolic fate of this interesting nematicide. It was prepared from the reaction between methanesulfonyl chloride and 2,4-dichlorophenol in the presence of a base. Three hundred milligrams of each 14C- and 35S-2,4-dichlorophenyl methanesulfonate was obtained in a yield of 87% based on 14C-2,4-dichlorophenol or 35S-methanesulfonyl chloride, respectively. The specific activity was 3.8 mCi/mmol for the compound labeled with 35S and 2.5 mCi/mmol for the 14C material. Both tracers assayed over 99% after purification.
