Abstract

[1-14C] N-methylneodecanamide (MNDA), a potent insect-repellent, was synthesized from [1-12C] neodecanoic acid (NDA) by an exchange variant of the Koch reaction, followed by conversion to the acyl halide and methylamination. The product had all the characteristics of authentic commercial MNDA, and the radiocarbon was distributed among the isomers in the same proportions as the isomers were among the mass.
