Abstract

A method for the radiosynthesis of 18F-labelled aryl trifluoromethyl ketones starting from widely available Weinreb amides using [18F]fluoroform is presented. The method uses potassium hexamethyldisilazane as base and delivers products in high molar activity (up to 24 GBq μmol-1) and excellent radiochemical conversions. The applicability for PET tracer synthesis is demonstrated by the radiosynthesis of ten (hetero)aryl trifluoromethylketones, bearing electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents including a derivative of bioactive probenecid.
