Abstract
An efficient and reliable synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-[(18)F]fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl nucleosides is presented. Overall decay-corrected radiochemical yields of 35-45% of 4 analogs, FAU, FMAU, FBAU and FIAU are routinely obtained in >98% radiochemical purity and with specific activities of greater than 3 Ci/micromol (110 MBq/micromol) in a synthesis time of approximately 3 hours. When approximately 220 mCi (8.15 GBq) of starting [(18)F]fluoride is used, 25 -30 mCi (0.93 -1.11 GBq) of product (enough to image two patients sequentially) is typically obtained.Entities:
