Synthesis of 6-(Fluoromethyl)-19-norcholest-5(10)-en-3-ol, a Fluorinated Analogue of NP-59, using the Mild Fluorinating Reagent, TBAF(Pinacol)2

Abstract For 45 years, efforts to prepare a fluorinated analogue of the scintiscanning/SPECT agent 6-(iodomethyl)-19-norcholest-5(10)-en-3-ol (NP-59) for development of a PET imaging agent have failed due to undesired elimination reactions and unexpected rearrangements observed­ while utilizing a wi...
