Abstract

We have prepared 4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzylsulfonate esters as fluoromethylbenzylating agents. These agents are readily prepared by an [18F]fluoride ion displacement of the corresponding bissulfonate esters. The application of these 4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzylsulfonate esters to N- alkylation reaction of spiperone and 1-phenylpiperazine shows that the products 3-N-(4-[18F]fluoromethylbenzyl)spiperone and 1-N-(4- [18F]fluoromethylbenzyl)-4-phenylpiperazine are rapidly produced with high radiochemical yields under a no-carrier-added condition.
