Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbene boron trifluoride (NHC-BF3) conjugates were successfully radiofluorinated by SnCl4-promoted 18F-19F isotopic exchange reaction in one labelling step. This method afforded in vivo stable PET agents that efficiently bound to targeted tumours yielding PET images with good tumour-to-background contrast. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
