Abstract

1-[2-(2-Fluoroethoxy)ethyl]-2-1H-nitroimidazole (3a), 1-{2-[2-(2- fluoroethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}-2-1H-nitroimidazole (3b) and 1-(2-{2-[2-(2- fluoroethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethyl)-2-1H-nitroimidazole (3c) were synthesized in a two step sequence. Coupling the ditosylate of di-, tri- or tetraethylene glycol with 2-nitroimidazole followed by fluoride substitution afforded the reference compounds in high yield and 18F labeling gave the corresponding markers in 70-82% radiochemical yield.
