Nucleophilic, no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) 18F-labelling of these ligands in an aromatic position is desirable for studying receptors with in vivo molecular imaging. 1-(4-[18F]Fluorophenyl)piperazine was synthesized in two reaction steps starting by 18F-labelling of a iodobenzene-iodonium precursor, followed by Pd-catalyzed N-arylation of the intermediate 4-[18F]fluoro-iodobenzene. Different palladium catalysts and solvents were tested with particular attention to the polar solvents dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Weak inorganic bases like potassium phosphate or cesium carbonate seem to be essential for the arylation step and lead to conversation rates above $70\%$ in DMF which is comparable to those in typically used toluene. In DMSO even quantitative conversation was observed. Overall radiochemical yields of up to $40\%$ and $60\%$ in DMF and DMSO, respectively, were reached depending on the labelling yield of the first step. The fluorophenylpiperazine obtained was coupled in a third reaction step with 2-formyl-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile to yield the highly selective dopamine D4 ligand [18F]FAUC 316.}, cin = {INM-5}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)INM-5-20090406}, pnm = {573 - Neuroimaging (POF3-573) / HITEC - Helmholtz Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training in Energy and Climate Research (HITEC) (HITEC-20170406)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-573 / G:(DE-Juel1)HITEC-20170406}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000348319000028}, doi = {10.3390/molecules20010470}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/186482}, }
