Pd0-mediated rapid coupling of methyl iodide with excess amounts of benzyl- and cinnamylboronic acid esters: efficient method for incorporation of positron-emitting 11C radionuclide into organic frameworks by coupling between two sp3-hybridized carbons

Abstract

Pd0-mediated rapid cross coupling between sp3-hybridized carbons of CH3I and benzyl- or cinnamylboronic acid esters using [Pd{P(tert-C4H9)3}2]/CsF in DMF/H2O gave the corresponding methylated compounds in high yield. The utility was well demonstrated for the synthesis of short-lived PET tracer, N-(4-[11C]ethylphenyl)propionamide, in 90 ± 1% radio-HPLC analytical yield and 49 ± 3% radiochemical yield.
