摘要
For the radiofluorination of benzenes and benzene derivatives, the electrophilic reaction with [F-18]F-2 is a very common route. Yet, aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) by n.c.a [F-18]fluoride, which can be produced efficiently in high amounts, has been considered to be very desirable. However, to facilitate F-18-labelling via SNAr at an electron rich aromatic system, an appropriate leaving group must be present together with an auxiliary group in ortho or para position to the leaving group. An interesting alternative for the auxiliary group is the heteroatom of a heteroaromatic system, for which pyridine is a leading example. Dolci et al. (J Label Compd Radiopharm 42:975-985, 1999) have evaluated the scope of the nucleophilic aromatic fluorination of 2-substituted pyridine rings using the activated K [F-18]F-K-222 complex. As methyl and methoxy groups are known to enhance the electron density of an aromatic system by the +I and the +M effect, respectively, SNAr is unlikely to occur. Until now, the effect of these substituents has not been studied towards the F-18-radiofluorination of substituted 2-nitropyridines by use of [F-18]fluoride. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of methoxy and methyl groups in 2-nitropyridines. The results showed that 3-methoxy-2-nitropyridine and 3-methyl-2-nitropyridine can efficiently be substituted by [F-18]fluoride with high RCY's (70-89%) in short reaction times (1-30 min) at a reaction temperature of 140 A degrees C. Moreover, 3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-[F-18]fluoropyridine was obtained from the corresponding nitro-precursor in a high yield of 81 +/- A 1% after 30 min at 140 A degrees C. In case of 2-nitropyridines data indicates the effect of methyl and methoxy groups on SNAr to be of minor importance.
