Abstract

2-Fluoro-1, 3-thiazoles were rapidly and efficiently labeled with no-carrier-added fluorine-18 (t1/2= 109.7 min) by treatment of readily prepared 2-halo precursors with cyclotron-produced [18F] fluoride ion. The [18F] 2-fluoro-1, 3-thiazolyl moiety constitutes a new and easily- labeled structural motif for prospective molecular imaging radiotracers.
