Abstract

Background: One of the challenges in positron emission tomography (PET) is labelling complex aliphatic molecules.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a method of metal-catalysed radiofluorination that is site-selective and works in moderate to good yields under facile conditions.

Methods: Herein, we report on the optimisation of an aliphatic C-H to C-18F bond transformation catalysed by a Mn(porphyrin) complex.

Results: The successful oxidation of 11 aliphatic molecules, including progesterone, is reported. Radiochemical Incorporations (RCIs) up to 69% were achieved within 60 min without the need for pre-activation or special equipment.

Conclusion: The method features mild conditions (60 °C) and promises to constitute a valuable approach to labelling of biomolecules and drug substances.

Keywords: PET, [18F]-Fluoride, aliphatic labelling, imaging, mn-Catalysed, porphyrin, tracer synthesis, nucleophilic fluorination.
