    Abstract

    The potent quorum sensing inhibitor (5Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-2(5H)-[2-C-14]furanone has been prepared in five steps in 7.7% overall yield starting from bromo[1-C-14]acetic acid. Condensation of ethyl bromo[1-C-14]acetate with ethyl acetoacetate followed by decarboxylation was accelerated by microwave heating to afford [1-C-14]levulinic acid. Subsequently, bromination and oxidation gave the targeted furan-2-one with a radiochemical purity of > 97% and a specific activity of 57 mCi/mmol.
