SYNTHESIZING PET TRACERS USING F-18SULFONYL FLUORIDE AS A SOURCE OF F-18FLUORIDE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to the methods for the preparation of reactive [F-18]fluoride in a form of [F-18]sulfonyl fluoride suitable for efficient radiolabeling without an azeotropic evaporation step by the use of anion exchange resin and sulfonyl chloride, and its applications in the manufacturing of PET radiopharmaceuticals.
