M. Apparu et al., Synthesis of an iodine-labelled analogue of practolol: (S)-3-[4-(4-iodobut-3-encarboxamido)phenoxy]-1-isopropylaminopropan-2-ol (AMI-9S), J LABEL C R, 42(12), 1999, pp. 1195-1202
AMI-9S was synthesized in the S configuration with an enantiomeric purity o
f over 97% and labelled with iodine-123 with a specific activity of 300 Ci/
mmol. Enantiomeric purity was determined ty F-19 NMR spectroscopy following
derivatisation using (R)-2-fluorophenylacetylchloride. Radioiodination was
carried out from a vinylic stannane in the presence of iodide and chlorami
