Description

The new 18F-labelled precursor 1-[18F]fluoro-2-pyridone was prepared by reacting [18F]F2 with 2-(trimethylsiloxy)pyridine. This compound has potential as an easy to use yet selective labelling reagent in preparations, where fluorine carrier may be tolerated. Pure (> 92%) 1-[18F]fluoro-2-pyridone is obtained within 35 min from end of bombardment in yields of up to 48%. Quality control consisted of HPLC combined with 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The mean specific activity of several preparations was 4 MBq/μmol (ε = 16.6). The precursor may be used directly or purified by sublimation. (author)
