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 Owing to the ozone layerโdepleting properties of chlorofluorocarbon compounds, alternative solvents for electrophilic fluorination reactions are desirable. Chloroform, dichloromethane, acetone or their deuterated analogues were examined as substitutes for Freonโ11 in the electrophilic s
6-[18F]Fluoro-L-dopa was designed to trace the dopamine metabolism in the brain with positron tomography. 6-[18F]Fluoro-L-dopa resembles natural L-dopa biochemically, it crosses the blood-brain barrier with the similar kinetics, it is decarboxylated by dopa decarboxylase and is stored intraneuronall
## Abstract Progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms is imperfectly correlated with positron emission tomography biomarkers for dopamine biosynthetic pathways. The radiopharmaceutical 6โ[^18^F]fluoroโmโtyrosine is not a substrate for catecholโ__O__โmethyltransferase and therefore has a more favo
