We have developed a large-scale "one-pot" procedure for theconversion of commercially available [13C]- or [2H3,13C]methanol to [13C]- or [2H3,13C]methyl phenyl sulfide. [13C]methylphenyl sulfide is a potentially versatile, chemically stable, andnonvolatile labeling precursor. In addition, we report anefficient method for the oxidation of [13C]methyl phenyl sulfideto [13C]methyl phenyl sulfone. Finally, we have used [13C]methylphenyl sulfide to produce 13C-labeled methyl iodide, containingexactly one or two deuterons.
