Abstract
The radiolabelling of an iodinated analog of mazindol, 5‐(4‐[^125^I]‐iodophenyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐hydroxy‐5H‐imidazo[2,1‐a]isoindole, was performed in order to develop a potential tool for SPECT exploration of the presynaptic dopamine transporter in the human brain. Radiosynthesis was performed by iodide for bromide nucleophilic exchange from a brominated precursor. The reaction was carried out in the presence of the copper I catalyst and reducing and complexing agents. In these radiolabelling conditions, [^125^I] iodomazindol exhibited a tautomeric equilibrium. Therefore, in order to obtain the best labelling conditions, we studied variables such as copper I catalyst and brominated precursor concentrations, reaction temperature and heating time involved in the reaction.
This study of the kinetics could be used as a pattern for the radiosynthesis of other compounds which can be present in a tautomeric equilibrium under particular conditions. Indeed, we describe a convenient procedure to obtain each tautomeric form with high radiochemical purity in optimum radiolabelling conditions.
