[en] Despite a growing interest in CHF2 in medicinal chemistry, there is a lack of efficient methods for the insertion of CHF(18) F into druglike compounds. Herein described is a photoredox flow reaction for (18) F-difluoromethylation of N-heteroaromatics that are widely used in medicinal chemistry. Following the two-step synthesis for a new (18) F-difluoromethylation reagent, the photoredox reaction is completed within two minutes and proceeds by C-H activation, circumventing the need for pre-functionalization of the substrate. The method is operationally simple and affords straightforward access to radiolabeled N-heteroaromatics with high molar activity suitable for biological in vivo studies and clinical application.
scite shows how a scientific paper has been cited by providing the context of the citation, a classification describing whether it supports, mentions, or contrasts the cited claim, and a label indicating in which section the citation was made.

During the development of our methodology, another 18F-labeled SV2A radiotracer with affinity comparable to that of UCB-H was disclosed by two different groups. In both cases, the tracer was labeled with fluorine-18 through aromatic nucleophilic substitution and required the preparation of a pre-functionalized precursors.
