Isotopic labelling is a key tool in the elucidation of reaction mechanisms, biosynthetic pathways and metabolic flux.[1] For reasons of cost, most labelled compounds are prepared from as simple an isotopically enriched precursor as possible, and ideally in just a few steps. With the more exotic isotopes, such syntheses are by necessity conducted on a small scale. In such circumstances, although the chemistry itself may be straightforward, if an intermediate or final product is volatile then the synthesis and isolation can be a very challenging undertaking. We recently encountered exactly these issues when attempting to prepare alkyl-[18O]-allyl esters for a mechanistic investigation.[2] The experience prompted us to design a general approach for the preparation of volatile isotopically labelled olefins, under very mild conditions and with direct isolation of the desired compound relatively free of water, organic solvent and co-synthetic contaminants. Our strategy was to attach a precursor pair (X, Y, Scheme 1) for the desired olefin to a linker of much higher molecular weight, allowing synthetic manipulations to be conducted without difficulty,[3] and in a final solvent-free [4] catalytic ring-closing metathesis [5](RCM) process, unite the alkene termini, to release [6] and condense the desired olefin. Herein we report on the synthesis of [18O]-allyl alcohol ([18O]-1), in good chemical and isotopic purity, and outline the broader potential utility of the method. Allyl alcohol (1) is completely water soluble in all proportions, has a boiling point of 96–988C, and is prone to formation of azeotropes with almost all common laboratory solvents. As a consequence, without the benefit of specialised apparatus, isolation of allyl alcohol in a pure state is challenging on a small scale (< 250 μL) and an exemplar for the efficacy of the RCM approach (Scheme 1). A number of methods for the preparation of [18O]-1 have been reported.[7, 8] Many of these procedures generate a solution of [18O]-1, rather than pure material, together with the synthetic side products, which is then used without purification in further chemistry or spectroscopy.[7] The most amenable route reported to date is from Shine and Kupczyk-Subotkowska, in which a five-step sequence afforded pure [18O]-1 in 38% yield with 50% isotopic incorporation.[8] All of the reported procedures have shortcomings; for example, some involve prolonged heating in sealed vessels, or the use of perchlorate salts, or give low isotopic incorporations, or are not readily adapted to multiple labelling patterns, or, in our hands, generated substantial quantities of diallyl ether as a side product.
