Abstract

5-((1-[11C]-methyl-2-(S)-pyrrolidinyl)methoxy)-2-chloro-3-((E)- 2-(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)vinyl)pyridine ([11C]-FPVC) was synthesized from [11C]-methyl iodide and the corresponding normethyl precursor. The average time of synthesis, purification, and formulation was 42 min with an average non-decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 19%. The average specific radioactivity was 359 GBq/μmol (9691 mCi/μmole) at end of synthesis (EOS).
