M. Solbach et al., PREPARATION OF N-[C-11]METHYL-2,5-DIMETHOXY-4-BROMO-AMPHETAMINE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 221(1-2), 1997, pp. 211-212
For in vivo receptor studies N-[C-11]methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromo-amph
etamine, [C-11]MDOB, was synthesized by the reaction of [C-11]CH3I wit
h DOB in acetonitrile. The labelling yield was determined in dependenc
e on amount of precursor, time and temperature of the methylation reac
tion. During 10 to 15 minutes 60% to 70% of [C-11]MDOB has been obtain
ed at 110 degrees C.
