Description

A simple and rapid method for 18F radiolabelling of [GaF3(BnMe2-tacn)] by 18F/19F isotopic exchange is described. The use of MeCN/H2O or EtOH/H2O (75:25) and aqueous [18F]F- (up to 200 MBq) with heating (80 C, 10 min) gave 66±4 % 18F incorporation at a concentration of 268 nm, and 37±5 % 18F incorporation at even lower concentration (27 nm), without the need for a Lewis acid promoter. A solid-phase extraction method was established to give [Ga18F19F2(BnMe2-tacn)] in 99 % radiochemical purity in an EtOH/H2O mixture. (copyright 2018 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
