Abstract
We report an efficient, metal-free method for late-stage rapid [18F]trifluoromethyl radiolabeling of terminal alkenes at room temperature. Utilizing 3,3-difluoroallyl sulfonium salts as precursors, the process achieves high radiochemical yields (up to 94 ± 2%) in just 30 s, with excellent functional group tolerance. This method offers a simplified and efficient pathway to produce [18F]trifluoromethylated terminal alkene compounds, enabling their application in PET imaging and expanding the chemical space for drug discovery.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
