Two positron-emitting analogues of tyrosine, O-[C-11]methyl-L-tyrosine and O-[F-18]fluoromethyl-L-tyrosine were prepared as new tumor imaging agents. The alkylating agent, [C-11]methyl triflate or [F-18]fluoromethyl triflate, was simply bubbled through a dimethylsulfoxide solution Of L-tyrosine disodium salt at room temperature. After subsequent HPLC purification the labeled L-tyrosine analogues were obtained in decay-corrected radiochemical yields of over 50%, based on their corresponding labeling agent, with radiochemical purities always higher than 98%. The quite straightforward preparation, together with the high radiochemical yields achieved, make both these syntheses suitable for routine production. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
