Abstract

Fluorinated organic molecules have become increasingly important as pharmaceuticals [1] and tracers for positronemission tomography (PET), a powerful technology for noninvasive molecular imaging.[2] The nucleus of choice for PET is fluorine-18 (18F), which is typically introduced into PET tracers through the formation of carbon–fluorine bonds using nucleophilic fluoride (18FÀ) under harsh reaction conditions.[3] The short half-life of 18F ( ...
