Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing radiofluorinated substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and alkenyl compounds. In a preferred embodiment, potassium fluoride-18 is used. Another aspect of the invention relates to piperazine compounds containing fluorine-18 that are useful as imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the piperazine compounds contain a quaternary amine. Another aspect of the invention relates to arylphosphonium compounds containing fluorine-18 that are useful as imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the phosphonium compound is a tetraaryl phosphonium salt. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of obtaining a positron emission image of a mammal, comprising the steps of administering to a mammal a compound of the invention, and acquiring a positron emission spectrum of the mammal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of making a radiofluorinated compound, represented by A-Y, by reacting a substrate, represented by A-X, with a radiofluorinating agent, represented by MY, wherein A is (i)a 5-, 6-, or 7-membered single-ring aromatic group that includes no heteroatoms in its ring structure, or (ii) a polycyclic ring system having two or more fused rings wherein at least one of the rings is a 5-, 6-, or 7-membered single-ring aromatic group that includes no heteroatoms in its r…
