Copper-mediated 18F-radiofluorination has been extended to the use of arylstannanes as precursors [1]. This method can be used for the 18F-radiosynthesis of [18F]F-L-DOPA under mild conditions and represents a valuable alternative to the technically sophisticated and low-yielding electrophilic approach. Automated 18F-radiofluorination of the TetraBoc protected trimethyltin precusor for clinical use was performed with a radiochemical purity of >99% and a molar activity of up to 60 GBq/µmol [2].
