Nucleophilic [F-18]fluorination of some halo- and mesyloxyalkanes to the corresponding [F-18]fluoroalkanes with fluoride-18 obtained from an O-18(p,n) [F-18]F reaction, using an ionic liquid as a reaction medium, has been studied as a new method for fluorine-18 labeling. Of the various ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate ([bmim][OTf]) in the presence of Cs2CO3, gave the highest radiochemical yields. This method is rapid and particularly convenient because [F-18]fluoride in H2O can be added directly to the reaction media, obviating the careful drying that is typically required for currently used radiofluorination methods. As a model reaction, [F-18]fluorination of 2-(3-methanesulfonyloxypropoxy)naphthalene [1] was found to provide the corresponding [F-18]fluoro product in 93+/-1.2% (n=3) radiochemical yield, after reaction at 120 degreesC for 5-10 min under optimized conditions. Thus, we anticipate that this method will be very useful in the labeling of various molecules with [F-18]fluoride in a convenient manner. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
