Previous work from this laboratory has shown that the direct fluorination of 3, 4-dihydroxy-phenyl-lalanine (l-DOPA) in anhydrous HF (aHF) or BF 3 /HF with F 2 is an efficient method for the synthesis of 6-fluoro-l-DOPA. Since then, 18 F-labeled 6-fluoro-l-DOPA ([ 18 F]6-fluoro-l-DOPA) has been used
## Abstract Progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms is imperfectly correlated with positron emission tomography biomarkers for dopamine biosynthetic pathways. The radiopharmaceutical 6β[^18^F]fluoroβmβtyrosine is not a substrate for catecholβ__O__βmethyltransferase and therefore has a more favo
