Fully Automated Production of (((S)-1-Carboxy-5-(6-([18F]fluoro)-2-methoxynicotinamido)pentyl)carbamoyl)-l-glutamic Acid ([18F]JK-PSMA-7) [PDF]
Background: The radiotracer [18F]JK-PSMA-7, a prostate cancer imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET), was previously synthesized by indirect radiofluorination using an 18F-labeled active ester as a prosthetic group, which had to be isolated

Simple and Efficient Synthesis of N-Succinimidyl-4-[18F]fluorobenzoate ([18F]SFB)—An Important Intermediate for the Introduction of Fluorine-18 into Complex Bioactive Compounds [PDF]
Background: N-succinimidyl-[18F]fluorobenzoate ([18F]SFB) is commonly prepared through a three-step procedure starting from [18F]fluoride ion. A number of methods for the single-step radiosynthesis of [18F]SFB have been introduced recently, including the

A simplified, robust protocol for [18F]fluoride elution under mild conditions to enhance late-stage aromatic radiofluorinations [PDF]
Direct radiofluorination of base-sensitive PET precursors is challenging due to the harsh reaction conditions of traditional fluorine-18 radiochemistry. In particular, the presence of inorganic bases with a relatively high conjugate pK a (e.g. K2CO3) and
