Abstract
The synthesis of 6-deoxy-6–18F-α-D-galactopyranose from the 6-tosyl-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene derivative, using tetraethyl-ammonium fluoride-18F is described. The synthesis requires 4–4 1/2 hours for completion. The radiochemical yield (activity in compound/starting activity. corrected for decay) is about 15%. Thus 3–4% of the starting 18F– activity is present at the time of delivery, in approximately 0.2 mg of product.
