8.2.1.1 Fluorohydrins
The production of uorohydrins is typically accomplished through a substitution reaction with a sulfonate or related leaving group. The alcohol precursor can be protected to mitigate the eect of the proton donor on uoride reactivity. In several instances, a cyclic sulfonate is utilized for the installation of uoride, and the resulting acyclic sulfonate is cleaved, resulting in a mixture of isomeric uorohydrin products. Alternatively, a one-step radiouorination may be achieved using an epoxide precursor, and this has been performed in reactions using HF as the uorinating reagent[44–50]. In an improvement of this approach, methods using [ developed separately by both the Zhuravlev (Scheme8.1a) and Doyle (Scheme8.1b) labs[51, 52]. In more recent work, the Scott and Sanford laboratories developed a method to prepare a putative [

This method employed iron(III) acetylacetonate as a promoter and typically dis­played regioselectivity for the more substituted epoxide carbon center (Scheme8.1c). Notably, this selectivity is complementary to that oered by the Co(salen) catalyst systems.
8.2.1.2 Benzylic andAllylic Fluorination
Novel methods for benzylic and allylic uorinations have been developed and oer new opportunities to quickly screen scaolds for suitability as drug molecules or imaging agents by PET, and manganese complexes have been successful in promoting this trans­formation[53, 54]. For example, in a collaboration between the Hooker and Groves labs, it was shown that benzylic C–H bonds can undergo radiouorination in the presence of Mn(salen)OTs, [ well on a range of molecules, including those based on known small-molecule drugs. While the benzylic position oers greater activity for C-H activation and uorination, the resulting benzyl uorides can exhibit poor metabolic stability in some instances. Despite this drawback, this approach permits facile scaold screening for further development and can facilitate the expedient production of uorine-18 PET imaging agents. Furthermore, the recent development of Ag[ development of a C-H activation of methyl quinolines to produce benzylic [ (Scheme8.2b)[31]. While this method is limited to quinolines, it demonstrates that ben­zylic methyl and methylene C–H bonds can be radiolabeled directly with Pd. Further­more, this method illustrates the potential for further C-H radiouorination processes to be developed.
Metal-catalyzed methods have also been developed to produce allylic uorides by two separate laboratories[55–58]. In seminal work from the Gouverneur lab, a palladium­catalyzed method was developed that employed an allylic methyl carbonate group, which facilitated driving the radiouorination to completion. An example was provided in the manuscript for radiouorination (Scheme8.2c), and the authors later described an improved method using an iridium catalyst. Utilizing allylic methyl carbonates alongside tetraethylammonium [ desired radiouorination was observed on three substrates (Scheme8.2d). The use of iridium for allylic radiouorination has also been investigated by the Nguyen group. In their method, an iridium catalyst and an allylic trichloroacetimidate precursor were uti­lized (Scheme8.2e). The uorine-19 method performed better with 3HF-TEA, which is not currently available as the corresponding uorine-18 isotopolog. Later, the Nguyen labo­ratory further developed this method and described a general radiouorination of allylic trichloroacetimidates using [
These methods provide access to benzylic and allylic [ initial development, and evaluation, but have several drawbacks. For example, some incorporate toxic class II solvents and rare-earth heavy metal catalysts. Transition metals like palladium and iridium are only allowed in a parenteral administration at a quantity not exceeding 10 μg day of PET imaging agents. Therefore, the development of methods with a metal that carries

The triuoromethyl group is an attractive moiety in drug design owing to its capability to improve drug pharmacokinetic properties, such as metabolic stability. Reecting this, the development of methods to install the triuoromethyl group has been the focus of many laboratories. Notably, the triuoromethyl group represents a way to radiolabel many drug and drug-like scaolds with the added benet of improved stability when compared to terminal alkyl uorides, which are prone to elimination. In previous decades, a small number of triuoromethyl groups have been generated by preparing a diuoro-bromo/ iodo methyl group and displacing the higher halide with either K[
18
F]F or H[18F]F[60–63]. These methods are dicult to implement on a variety of scaolds owing to the challenge of forming the precursor and have seen limited use as a result. In the last 15 years, eorts have been undertaken to generate aliphatic triuoromethyl groups,[64–66] including triuoromethyl groups attached to a heteroatom (oxygen, sulfur or selenium)[63, 67–70], as well as aryl triuoromethyl groups[54, 71–75].

An improved strategy for the generation of aliphatic triuoromethyl groups was reported in 2011 in work from Riss and Aigbirhio[64]. In this method, a diuoroalkene was gener­ated, typically by treatment of a triuoromethylated substrate bearing an α–C–H bond with n-butyllithium to eliminate HF. The resulting diuoroalkene can be converted to the desired [ oxide (DMSO) with a small amount of H required to complete the mechanism (Scheme8.3a). The reaction, unfortunately, also has a competing addition-elimination process that results in the formation of the [ roalkene (i.e. the radiolabeled precursor). The scope of the reaction was limited to activated diuoroalkenes, but one of the best substrates, 2,2-diuorovinyl-4-tosylate, is also a potential prosthetic group since it can undergo a substitution reaction with a nucleophile following radiouorination. The competing side reaction was a problem that the authors addressed in a follow-up report[30]. In the improved labeling method for this reaction (Scheme8.3b), alternative quenching reagents to water were investigated to improve the ratio of [ donors like 2-propanol was superior to H observed (up to 10:1 triuoromethyl:diuoroalkene). Later, this approach was adapted to the synthesis of [ ratory[76]. In this work, lansoprazole, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved pharmaceutical, was treated with n-butyllithium to prepare a diuoroalkene precursor.

Several labs have also investigated novel techniques to generate [18F]triuoromethyl groups attached to heteroatoms. In a method reported by Liang and co-workers, a benzylic or aliphatic halide is treated with a combination of S 2-(triphenylphosphonio)diuoroacetate (PDFA), and [

Several laboratories have successfully developed improved methods for the production of aromatic [ suered from low molar activity, which limits their utility in PET imaging as they are not suitable methods to produce radioligands. However, these approaches may be utilized in the generation of radiotracers, substrates, and trapped metabolite PET imaging agents within applications where molar activity does not limit the ability to generate imaging data[79]. These newly developed approaches to form aromatic triuoromethyl groups in general start by forming [

Several other methodologies to generate aliphatic [18F]uorides of interest have been developed since the last edition of the Handbook. Eorts have been undertaken in a col­laboration between the Ritter and Vasdev-Liang groups to generate [ groups using aryl-pseudo halides[80]. In this method, a 2-uoro-1,2-diphenylethan-1-one is treated with tetraethylammonium [
18
F]uoride generated using tetraethylammonium
bicarbonate for QMA cartridge elution, facilitating a halogen exchange.
The reaction mixture is subsequently treated with N-bromophthalimide fol­lowed by aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce the desired diuoromethyl arene (Scheme8.6a). This reaction suers from poor molar activity as each molecule of pre­cursor necessarily contains a uorine-19 atom that becomes a part of the reaction mech­anism to give the diuoro product. Liang followed this work with an alternate method to produce diuoromethylated arenes from benzylic bromides[81]. In this method, ben­zylic bromides are treated with tetraethylammonium [ trophilic uoride source Selectuor™ in the presence of Na
18
F]uoride, followed by the elec-
2S2O8
diuoromethylated arene (Scheme8.6b). This approach aorded a higher molar activity than the earlier method but still three to vefold lower than standard techniques. Two other late-stage labeling methodologies have also been developed. Zeng and co-workers developed a (radio)uoroclick reaction to produce α-uoroenamides from ynamides with
18
[
F]KF with hexauoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a solvent[82]. The reaction is promoted through a hydrogen-bonding cluster between the solvent and [ mixture. Five substrates with a range of functional groups were amenable to the reac­tion conditions. This included an ynamide, which was radiouorinated chemoselectively, leaving the azide group intact (Scheme8.7a). Therefore, this chemistry may facilitate the late-stage installation of labeled prosthetic groups, which can be conveniently installed with an azide click reaction. The ve products were obtained in good RCY (76–97%, decay corrected), although a long reaction time of one hour was utilized. In addition, Zeng and co-workers showed that three of the radiolabeled products were stable in serum for two

The other method utilizes uorinase, which is the only known and well-characterized enzyme to use uoride for substrate uorination. This enzyme selectively converts S-adenosyl-
l-methionine (ADM) to 5′-uoro-5′-deoxyadenosine. Thompson and co-workers
investigated the radiouorination of other substrates with the aim of synthesizing prosthetic groups for peptides[83]. The authors replaced the methionine group of ADM with a chloride for an enzymatic transhalogenation in buered water (Scheme8.7b).
The incorporation of an acetylene at the C-2 position was also tolerated, enabling a subsequent click reaction to incorporate arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide for the production of a PET radioligand. The incorporation of uorine-18 in buered water is a noteworthy development as the labeling of peptides is frequently hampered by incom­patible organic solvents. Therefore, this method carries the potential to conveniently radiolabel peptides and biomolecules, which would otherwise be challenging using other strategies.

Aryl uorides are prevalent in pharmaceuticals[84–88], and their 18F isotopologs are important for PET imaging applications. As such, methods for synthesizing [ of great interest in the PET community[8, 16, 89, 90]. At the time of the previous edition of the Handbook of Radiopharmaceuticals, there were limited methodologies to incor­porate uorine-18 into an aromatic ring[91]. The most commonly used methods were electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr). An extensive discussion of these methods is beyond the scope of this chapter, although comprehensive reviews are available[1–7, 9, 13–20]. In general, the last decade has seen a shift away from traditional S
Ar, because the carrier-added method of [18F]F2 production

Other radiouorination methodologies that are less commonly used due to their harsh conditions and limited scope are the Balz-Schiemann decomposition and the Wallach reaction (Scheme8.8c and d). However, all of the existing methodologies have certain limitations, including forcing conditions and restricted substrate scopes, often stemming from challenging precursor syntheses and an electronic mismatch between nucleophilic [

To overcome these challenges, the last 10 years have seen a renaissance in uorine-18 radio­chemistry research and an introduction of many new methods that are compatible with a wide range of aromatic substrates. This section will highlight the new methodologies developed since c. 2000, as well as some of their applications.

8.5.2.1 Electrophilic Radiouorination
Electrophilic radiouorination with [18F]F2 is not commonly used for the reasons outlined previously and suers from low molar activity products and harsh reaction conditions. However, there are groups who currently research electrophilic radiouorination and continue to explore improvements. Eorts to develop higher-molar-activity electro­philic methods, such as the use of a uoromethane MeF electrical discharge chamber, have occurred in recent years with some success[96, 97]. However, these approaches are generally not technically routine or trivial and have consequently not seen widespread usage. To overcome harsh uorinating conditions, a number of reports have investigated converting reactive [

activity limitations stemming from the inability to separate [ uct (Scheme8.9a). Improving the S

been investigated using pyridine derivatives (Scheme8.9b)[104] and oxidative strategies (Scheme8.9c)[105]. Radiouorination of anilines via conversion to N-arylsydnones was also recently reported, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that this operates via a typical addition-elimination S
Ar mechanism (Scheme8.9d)[106]. Triaryl-
N
sulfonium salts can also be used to achieve radiouorination via aromatic substitution (Scheme8.9e)[107]. p-Electron-withdrawing groups provide the highest yields, while m-substituted and electron-rich substrates give trace products. Notably, this method­ology has successfully been used to synthesize PET radiotracers[108, 109].

Another approach to overcome the scope limitations of traditional S
prosthetic groups that can be radiolabeled by S
Ar and then attached to a larger mole-
N
Ar is to design
N
cule (Figure8.3)[110–113]. While this allows biologically active molecules (e.g. peptides) to be radiolabeled, it requires multiple steps post-[
18
F]uoride introduction, which can lead to low yields and reproducibility issues[22]. However, this method has been applied to the synthesis of many PET radiotracers and is routinely employed to introduce a
18
[
F]uorine into a molecule of interest[114, 115]. Methods for the synthesis of prosthetic
groups are discussed later.
