Figure 8

(a) Simplified synthesis route of the precursors by Yale and PharmaSynth and radiosynthesis of [18F]SynVesT-1 ([18F]SDM-8). Nitrogen in pyridinyl ring is shown in blue. (b) Simplified synthesis route of the precursor by ABX and radiosynthesis of [18F]SDM-4MP3. Differentiating pyridinyl nitrogen is shown in green. Reaction conditions for radiosynthesis: Cu(OTf)2, pyridine, [18F]KF, DMAc, 110°C, 20 min.
