Abstract
A modified method for the synthesis of radioiodinated 5‐iodo‐2′‐deoxyuridine based on electrophillic iodination using concentrated HNO~3~ as an oxidising agent is described. It is easy, quick, reproducible and yields consistently high (>95%) radiolabelled IUDR. This method avoids refluxing at high temperatures, thereby saving preparation time and improving safety.
