S. Lehel et al., Synthesis of 5 '-deoxy-5 '-[F-18]fluoro-adenosine by radiofluorination of 5 '-deoxy-5 '-haloadenosine derivatives, J RAD NUCL, 245(2), 2000, pp. 399-401
5'-Deoxy-5`-[F-18]fluoro-adenosine was synthesised by nucleophilic radioflu
orination reactions of 5'-deoxy-5'-haloadenosines. The homogeneous isotope
exchange in 5'-deoxy-5'-fluoro-adenosine was also investigated. The convers
ion of these reactions was found to be rather low and depends on the streng
th of the halogen-carbon bond: 0.248% for chloride-, 0.488% for bromide- an
d 1.070% for iodide-derivative; there was no reaction observed in the case
of fluoro-compound.
