METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRECURSORS FOR L-2-[18F]FLUOROPHENYLALANINE AND 6-[18F]FLUORO-L--META-TYROSINE AND THE a-METHYLATED DERIVATIVES THEREOF, PRECURSOR, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING L-2-[18F]FLUOROPHENYLALANINE AND 6-[18F]FLUORO-L-META-TYROSINE AND THE a

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing precursors for L-2-[18F]fluorophenylalanine and 6-[18F]fluoro-L-meta-tyrosine and the a-methylated derivatives thereof, said precursor, and a method for producing L-2-[18F]fluorophenylalanine and 2-[18F]fluoro-L-meta-tyrosine and the a-methylated derivatives thereof from the precursor. According to the invention, a compound of formula (3) is used to enable an automated synthesis of L-3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F]fluorophenylalanine and 6-[18F]fluoro-L-meta-tyrosine. The enantiomer purity of the product amounts to = 98%.
