Abstract

18F labeling strategies for unmodified peptides with [18F]fluoride require 18F-labeled prosthetics for bioconjugation more often with cysteine thiols or lysine amines. Here we explore selective radical chemistry to target aromatic residues applying C-H 18F-trifluoromethylation. We report a one-step route to [18F]CF3SO2NH4 from [18F]fluoride and its application to direct [18F]CF3 incorporation at tryptophan or tyrosine residues using unmodified peptides as complex as recombinant human insulin. The fully automated radiosynthesis of octreotide[Trp(2-CF2 18F)] enables in vivo positron emission tomography imaging.
