7.4.4 Reactions with [11C]Cyanide
[11C]Cyanide ([11C]CN−) is a reactive nucleophile that undergoes substitution reactions with alkyl halides to produce organic nitriles, which may be further derivatized to obtain
11
C-labelled carboxylic acids[355–359], amides[360, 361], or amines[362] (Figure7.42a). The wide reactivity of the nitrile group allows for more complex transformations: for example, lecular cyclisation has been used to radiolabel [2­tionally, [ aziridine derivatives to produce
11
C-cyanoalanine could be converted in one step to the formamide (asparagine), the acid (aspartic acid), or the amine (2,4-diamino-butyric acid) (Figure7.42c)[364].

(a) Bucherer-Bergs
C-Amino acids may be synthesised by the Bucherer-Bergs reaction (often referred to as the Bucherer-Strecker method). This multicomponent reaction combines an aldehyde or ketone with ammonium carbonate and carrier-added [ typically performed at high temperature and pressure. The resultant intermediate is subsequently hydrolysed to yield the corresponding carbonyl-
11
C]cyanide and is
11
C-hydantoin
11
C-amino acid (Figure7.43a). This approach has been used to access a range of radiolabelled aro­matic (e.g. tyrosine[365], trytophan[366], phenylglycine[367], and
l-DOPA[368]) and ali-
phatic amino acids (e.g. leucine[369], glycine[370], α-aminoisobutyric acid[371, 372], and 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid [ACPC][373–375]). An automated apparatus for the production of a range of amino acids has been described[376].
The Strecker reaction allows carbonyl-
addition, via reaction of [
11
C]CN− with an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of ammonia,
followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate α-amino-
11
C-amino acids to be synthesised without carrier
11
C-nitrile (Figure7.43b). This was originally performed using aldehyde-bisulte adducts in place of the parent aldehydes to generate
11
C-labelled amino acids such as ACPC[76], alanine[377, 378], phenylalanine, and tyrosine[379]. The analogous reaction of aldehyde-bisulte adducts in the absence of ammonia generates the synthesis of
11
C-cyanohydrins, which may be further derivatized, as exemplied by
11
C-labelled lactic acid[380, 381], dopamine[382], and octopamines[383].

198 Handbook of Radiopharmaceuticals
of carbonyl-11C-enzamides targeting poly(ADP-ribose) (PARP) synthetase[393], and tuberculosis chemotherapeutics [
11
C]isonicotinohydrazide and [11C]pyrazine-2-carbox-
amide[394].
In an eort to improve yields, Buchwald, Hooker, and coworkers explored the
11
C-cyanation of aryl halides using biaryl phosphine Pd(0) catalysts (Figure7.44a)[395].
They postulated that performing oxidative addition before [
11
C]CN− delivery could reduce reaction times and that biaryl phosphine ligands would obviate the need for harsh reaction conditions. By mixing the Pd-ligand complex and aryl halide 30 min­utes prior to [
11
C]CN− delivery, 11C-cyanation reactions were found to proceed rapidly at ambient temperature with excellent functional group tolerance. This process was used for radiolabelling a range of pharmacologically active compounds, e.g. [ lopram (Figure7.44). Vinyl bromides are similarly converted to vinyl
11
C-nitriles, which
11
C]cita-
may participate in subsequent Michael addition reactions with suitable nucleophiles (Figure7.44b)[396]. Buchwald and Hooker further extended Pd-mediated
11
C-cyana-
tion chemistry to radiolabel the cysteine residue of unprotected peptides with aryl
11
C-nitriles (Figure7.44c) using a doubly reactive electrophile precursor[397]. This reac­tion demonstrated good chemoselectivity over other functional groups present on the peptide, providing
11
C-labelled peptides such as the integrin-targeting RGD peptide
shown in Figure7.44 in good RCY.
Unlike most Pd(0)-mediated reactions, Cu-mediated reactions do not require stringent
air- and moisture-free conditions. Ponchant etal. explored the Rosenmund-von Braun
11
C-cyanation reaction between [11C]CuCN and aryl halides (Figure7.45a)[398], which was found to proceed in good RCYs with aryl iodide substrates. In some cases, yields were lower than those obtained under Pd-mediation[399]; however, the Cu-mediated reac­tion requires no special handling of reagents.
11
C-Cyanations with [11C]CuCN have been used to prepare a library of potential PET imaging agents for the AMPA receptor[400, 401] and the orexin-2 receptor[401, 402] and employed in the multistep synthesis of the
11
C-tetrazoles, LY202157[403], and irbesartan[404], where the resultant nitrile partic­ipates in a subsequent [1 + 3] cycloaddition reaction with NaN this methodology has been extended to enable copper-mediated
(Figure7.45b). Recently,
3
11
C-cyanation of aryl boronic acids[405, 406] and aryl stannanes[406] (Figure7.45c). These reactions are com­patible with a variety of substituted aryl and heteroaryl substrates and have been applied to the synthesis of the κ-opioid receptor ligand [
11
drug [
C]perampanel[406].
11
[
C]CN− is readily converted into other reactive labelling precursors, including cya-
11
nate ([ [
C]NCO−), thiocyanate ([11C]NCS−), and cyanogen bromide ([11C]CNBr) (Figure7.46).

C]HCHO is released from the reaction solvent DMF, necessitating substitution of the solvent for N,N-diethylformamide (DEF ) to achieve acceptable molar activities of the desired products. The Pictet-Spengler reaction with [

is soluble in various organic solvents, including acetonitrile and toluene, and it is typi­cally trapped from a gas stream at ambient or below ambient temperatures in a solution already containing precursor[433]. With the rise of applications of [ chemistries for the radiosynthesis of
11
C-carbonyl compounds, the use of [11C]COCl2 is
11
C]CO2 and [11C]CO
likely to see decline in usage due to its dicult radiosynthesis and diculties in obtain­ing asymmetrically substituted products.
Radiolabelling of candidate PET tracers with [
11
C]COCl2 is challenging as it is reac-
tive toward two equivalents of a nucleophile. Preparation of symmetrically substituted
11
C-carbonyl-labelled-agents is, therefore, fairly straightforward and involves heating
a solution containing both [
11
C]COCl2 and the amine (or alcohol) of interest. Such sym-
metrical molecules are, however, rarely of interest, and often the challenge in using
11
[
C]COCl2 lies in the preparation of asymmetrically substituted 11C-ureas and 11C-carbon-
ates, or in the preparation of
11
C-carbamates. Without selective means for their prepara-
tion, the synthesis of asymmetrically substituted carbonyl compounds relies on the use

C-Isocyanates prepared by reaction of [11C]COCl2 with a primary amine in the presence

11
C-Isocyanates can also be prepared from N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl) alkylamines[434], from N-alkyl-sulnylamines, or directly from N,N′-organoureas[435].

Asakawa etal. developed the radiosynthesis of a glycyrrhetinic acid derivative with the aim of establishing a PET radiotracer for double imaging of kinases and proteasomes in tumors[438]. To avoid symmetrical
