Abstract
A new improved synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (2-18FDG,4) from 18F-labeled acetyl hypofluorite is described. Reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with 1, generated in situ from [18F]F2 and ammonium acetate in acetic acid solution at room temperature, gave 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranose. Hydrolysis of compound 3 with 2N HCl gave 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose in radiochemical yields of ~20% in a synthesis time of 70 min from EOB.
