Abstract
The urea moiety is present in many biologically active compounds and thus an attractive target for ^11^C‐labelling. To extend the scope of the rhodium(I)‐mediated carbonylative cross‐coupling reaction between an azide and an amine and investigate its tolerance for functional groups, we have synthesized eight ureas and two sulphonylureas that were ^11^C‐labelled in the carbonyl position. The decay‐corrected analytical radiochemical yields were in the range of 14–96% (from [^11^C]carbon monoxide). For example: starting from 1.33 GBq [^11^C]carbon monoxide, 0.237 GBq (66%) of the cytotoxic sulphonylurea [^11^C]LY‐181984 11 was isolated within 60 min from end of bombardment. The mild reaction conditions and generality regarding functional groups of this method make it an attractive alternative to the [^11^C]phosgene method for the synthesis of ^11^C‐labelled ureas.

11 C]Hydroxyurea has been successfully labelled using [ 11 C]carbon monoxide at low concentration. The decay-corrected radiochemical yield was 38 AE 3%, and the trapping efficiency of [ 11 C]carbon monoxide in the order of 90 AE 5%. This synthesis was performed by a rhodium-mediated carbonylation
Rhodium-mediated carbonylation reaction was applied to synthesize diethyl [carbonyl-11 C]malonate using [ 11 C]carbon monoxide at low concentration. The synthesis was performed starting with ethyl diazoacetate, ethanol and the rhodium complex being made in situ by chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I
