β¦ Synopsis
This work describes the synthesis and purification of L-6-["Fjfluorodopa synthesized via the reaction of acetyl hypofluorite with a mercury-dopa derivative. The mercurated starting material and the mercury compounds produced in the reaction are efficiently removed by passage of the reaction mixture through a mercaptan modified silica gel. After evaporation the residue was treated with HI, and purified by HPLC to give the pure product in 12% radiochemical yield (decay corrected) and containing < 10 ppb of mercury.

## Abstract 3βOβMethylβ2β and 6β[^18^F]βfluorodopa were synthesized in 8% radiochemical yield by the direct fluorination of a protected Lβdopa derivative with [^18^F]βacetyl hypofluorite. The 2β and 6βfluoro isomers were separated and purified by reverse phase HPLC.
## Abstract 3βOβMethylβ6β[^18^F]fluorodopa was synthesized in 20% radiochemical yield in 60 min, with a specific activity of 500 mCi/mmol, by the fluorination of a stannylated dopa precursor with [^18^F]βacetyl hypofluorite.
