SummaryA method for scavenging excess amines in sulfur-35-labeled radioligand preparations using fluorous scavengers has been developed in an effort to simplify the purification. This fluorous scavenging has been shown to be effective at removing excess amines from several [35 S]sulfonylation mixtures. In many cases this results in one less semipreparative HPLC purification, and thus in higher radiochemical yield and time savings. Fluorous scavenging was compared to the use of a solid-phase resin (PSisocyanate) and determined to be approximately equal with respect to recovery of radioactive product. However, the fluorous scavengers were shown to be more effective than solid-phase resin for removing basic amine components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
