## Abstract A fully automated synthesis of __N__‐succinimidyl 4‐[^18^F]fluorobenzoate ([^18^F]SFB) was carried out by a convenient three‐step, one‐pot procedure on the modified TRACERlab FX~FN~ synthesizer, including [^18^F]fluorination of ethyl 4‐(trimethylammonium triflate)benzoate as the precurs

✦ Synopsis
1-(2 0 -[ 18 F]-fluoroethoxy)-2,5-bis(4 0 -methoxystyryl)benzene ( 18 F-FESB) was synthesized in $76% radiochemical yield (specific activity >58.6 GBq or 1.58 Ci/mmol) in an Advanced Cyclotron Systems' automated synthesis unit by nucleophilic substitution of 1-(2 0 -toluenesulfonylethoxy)-2,5-bis(4 0 -methoxystyryl)benzene and purified using reversed phase column chromatography. When performed in the presence of ionic fluid, either 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Bmimtetrafluoroborate; BmimBF 4 ) or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Emimtriflate; EmimTFMS), radiochemical yields of 18 F-FESB ranged from 17 to 76%. The radiochemical yields were consistently lower ($3-7%) in the absence of these ionic fluids.
