Abstract
6 alpha-[F-18]Fluoroprogesterone 3 was prepared by the BF3.Et(2) O-catalyzed reaction of progest-5 alpha,6 alpha-epoxy-3,20-bisketal 1 and [F-18]fluoride as a possible route for the in vivo visualization of progesterone receptors by PET. The radiochemical yield of 3 was 25% (EOB) and the sp. act. was 5 MBq/mu mol (100 Ci/mol, EOS).
