Abstract
A novel amide synthesis methodology is described using amines, CO2 and Grignard reagents and Mitsunobu reagents. The method was applied to carbon-11 radiochemistry to label amides using cyclotron-produced [(11)C]CO2. The synthetic utility of the one-pot labelling methodology was demonstrated by producing [(11)C]melatonin. The incorporation of [(11)C]CO2 into [(11)C]melatonin was 36% - determined by radioHPLC 2 min post [(11)C]CO2 delivery.
