Nickel-mediated oxidative fluorination for PET with aqueous [18F] fluoride

J Am Chem Soc. 2012 Oct 24;134(42):17456-8. doi: 10.1021/ja3084797. Epub 2012 Oct 12.

Abstract

A one-step oxidative fluorination for carbon-fluorine bond formation from well-defined nickel complexes with oxidant and aqueous fluoride is presented, which enables a straightforward and practical (18)F late-stage fluorination of complex small molecules with potential for PET imaging.
