BETA-AMYLOID PET IMAGING AGENTS

摘要

Novel derivatives of imidazopyridinylbenzeneamines and novel derivatives of benzothiazolylbenzeneamines are disclosed that offer improved behavior when used as imaging agents for positron emission tomography of beta-amyloids. Also disclosed is a palladium-catalyzed reaction scheme under microwave conditions for aryl thioethers in general that provides a high ratio of substitution relative to reduction and can be used for the imidazopyridinylbenzeneamine derivatives as well as other compounds of related structure.
