Abstract
Positron emission tomography has emerged as the leading method for medical imaging with fluorine-18 as the most widely used radioactive isotope. Here we report a semi-automated method for the preparation of valuable [(18) F]trifluoromethylcopper, as well as its use for the radiosynthesis of [(18) F]trifluoromethylarenes and heteroarenes. Mild conditions of [(18) F]trifluoromethylation make this method particularly useful for the radiosynthesis of pharmacologically relevant [(18) F]trifluoromethylarenes and heteroarenes.Entities:
