A novel copper-mediated carboxylation strategy of aryl- and heteroaryl-stannanes is described. The method serves as a mild (i.e., 1 atm) carboxylation method using stable carbon dioxide and is transferable as a radiosynthetic approach for carbon-11-labeled aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids using sub-stoichiometric quantities of [C]CO. The methodology was applied to the radiosynthesis of the retinoid X receptor agonist, [C]bexarotene, with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 32 ± 5% and molar activity of 38 ± 23 GBq/μmol ( = 3).

This review discusses recent advances in light-driven radiochemistry for three key isotopes: fluorine-18, carbon-11, and zirconium-89, and their applications in positron emission tomography (PET). In the case of fluorine-18, the predominant approach involves the use of cyclotron-produced [F]fluoride or reagents derived thereof. Light serves to activate either the substrate or the fluorine-18 labeled reagent.

This protocol describes the application of cyclotron-generated [C]CO fixation reactions for direct C-carboxylation reactions and [C]CO for C-carbonylations. Herein we describe one-pot methods wherein the radioactive gas is first trapped in a reaction mixture at room temperature and atmospheric pressure prior to the radiolabeling reactions. Such procedures are widely applicable to numerous small molecules to form C-labeled carboxylic acids, amides, esters, ketones, oxazolidinones, carbamates, and ureas.

[ C]Carbon dioxide ([ C]CO ) and [ C]carbon monoxide ([ C]CO) are 2 attractive precursors for labelling the carbonyl position (C═O) in a vast range of functionalised molecules (eg, ureas, amides, and carboxylic acids). The development of radiosynthetic methods to produce functionalised C-labelled compounds is required to enhance the radiotracers available for positron emission tomography, molecular, and medical imaging applications. Following a brief summary of secondary C-precursor production and uses, the review focuses on recent progress with direct C-carboxylation routes with [ C]CO and C-carbonylation with [ C]CO.

Cyclotron-produced carbon-11 is a highly valuable radionuclide for the production of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. It is typically produced as relatively unreactive carbon-11 carbon dioxide ([ C]CO ), which is most commonly converted into a more reactive precursor for synthesis of PET radiotracers. The development of [ C]CO fixation methods has more recently enabled the direct radiolabelling of a diverse array of structures directly from [ C]CO , and the advantages afforded by the use of a loop-based system used in C-methylation and C-carboxylation reactions inspired us to apply the [ C]CO fixation "in-loop.
