Abstract
(Hetero)aryl pinacol boronic esters are routinely used for 18F-labeling and have accelerated numerous diagnostic and drug discovery programs. An analysis of the current state-of-play, however, highlights a pending challenge. Reports have indicated that some pinacol boronic esters are unstable and difficult to purify, hindering broader adoption in the clinic. Herein, we demonstrate that more stable boronic esters derived from 3,4-diethylhexane-3,4-diol (Epin) are highly suitable for copper-mediated radiolabeling. Impact is illustrated with the automated synthesis of [18F]FMZ.
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.
