Abstract
A simple and versatile loop‐solid phase extraction (SPE) method was developed for the automated preparation of [^11^C]doxepin, a histamine H~1~ receptor antagonist, from [^11^C]methyl triflate ([^11^C]MeOTf). This labeling agent was passed through a Teflon or Tefzel loop coated internally with a film of the precursor solution. The reaction products were then flushed from the loop to a short SPE column, where they were concentrated and then injected onto a semi‐preparative HPLC column simply by switching an injection valve. By applying this combined loop‐SPE technique the whole procedure turned out to be easily automated. The formation of [^11^C]methylated doxepin ([^11^C]methyldoxepin) was observed and the ratio of doxepin to methyldoxepin was found to be clearly correlated with the mass ratio of nordoxepin to MeOTf. This observation highlights the importance of [^11^C]MeOTf specific activity in the [^11^C]methylation of secondary amines. Using this method, [^11^C]Doxepin was prepared in over 40% radiochemical yield from high specific activity [^11^C]MeOTf. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
