  • Title: Radiofluorination with xenon difluoride: a new high yield synthesis of [18F]2-fluro-2-deoxy-D-glucose.
    Author: Sood S, Firnau G, Garnett ES.
    Journal: Int J Appl Radiat Isot; 1983 Apr; 34(4):743-5. PubMed ID: 6603428.
    Abstract:
    The reaction between [18F]xenon difluoride, 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal and boron trifluoride in ether gives exclusively [18F )3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride, which is hydrolysed with 1 N HCl to [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose. The overall chemical yield is 75%; the radiochemical yield is 20%. The procedure takes 45 min.
