Abstract
A new method for the preparation of 6‐[^18^F]fluorodopamine (3) and [^18^F]fluorinated analogs of m‐tyramine based on a regioselective radiofluorodestannylation reaction has been developed. The radiofluorodestannylation of 6‐trimethylstannyldopamine derivative 1 was carried out with [^18^F]F~2~ to give the corresponding [^18^F]fluoro intermediate 2. Acid deprotection of 2 with 48% HBr followed by HPLC purification afforded 6‐[^18^F]fluorodopamine (3) in 18% radiochemical yield. Similarly, 6‐ and 4‐[^18^F]fluoro‐m‐tyramines (6a and 6b) were prepared from their corresponding trimethylstannyl‐m‐tyramine derivatives in 25 and 8% radiochemical yields, respectively. In all cases, after HPLC purification of the final products, tin concentrations were found to be <15 ppb.

## Abstract Owing to the ozone layer‐depleting properties of chlorofluorocarbon compounds, alternative solvents for electrophilic fluorination reactions are desirable. Chloroform, dichloromethane, acetone or their deuterated analogues were examined as substitutes for Freon‐11 in the electrophilic s
