## 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

โฆ Synopsis
Direct brominatbn of L-dopa with stoichbmetric amounts of molecular bromine was found to yield 6-bromo-L-dopa as the sole product. This determination was made using liquid chromatography with electrochemical detector, mass spectroscopy, and proton NMR. 6-Bromo-L-dopa was found to be a substrate of an isolated decarboxylase enzyme although the rate of decarboxylation was much slower than that for L-dopa. These results suggest that a radiobrominated L-dopa a n a h may be a suitable PET or SPECT tracer for L-dopa in the brain.
