Abstract
Two potent dopamine transporter ligands, 2β‐[O‐^11^CH~3~]‐carbomethoxy‐3β‐(4‐methylphenyl)tropane and its 4‐chlorophenyl analogue, were synthesized by O‐alkylation at the 2β‐carboxy position with [^11^C]‐iodomethane. Separation of the [^11^C]‐labelled tropane from excess carboxylic acid precursor was readily achieved by semipreparative HPLC providing pure radiotracers at high specific activities (800–3000 mCi/μmole) suitable for in vivo PET studies. Radiosynthesis of this class of compounds by [O‐^11^CH~3~]‐methylation offers advantages over previously reported [N‐^11^CH~3~]‐methylation methods.

SUMMARY In order to study the dopamine transporter by \(\mathrm{PET}\), we prepared ( \(E\) )-N-(3-bromoprop-2-enyl)\(2 \beta\)-carbomethoxy-3 \(\beta\)-(4'-tolyl) nortropane (PE2Br) and its radiobrominated analogue. PE2Br and \(\left[{ }^{76} \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{PE} 2 \mathrm{Br}\) were synt
