“…Fluorine is a small halogen in which substitutions can be made at several positions of the estrogen while preserving binding affinities for both ER and SHBG (52,53). Furthermore, 18 F has a sufficiently long half-life to permit multistep synthesis of ligands (52,54) as well as uptake by target tissue and elimination by nontarget tissue during imaging (14,55); in addition, the use of PET permits quantitative imaging of regional receptor binding.…”

“…Many researchers have reported that the use of a microwave as a source of heat energy can enable reactions to proceed over much shorter reactions times and in higher yields than they would do under conventional thermal conditions. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Compounds labeled with 18 F are used as positron emission tomography (PET) tracers. The introduction of 18 F atoms into an organic compound (i.e., 18 F-fluorination reactions), however, invariably requires high temperatures and long reaction times because fluoride anions are only weakly nucleophilic.…”

Furthermore, the use of long reaction times for the introduction of 18 F atoms can be problematic because the half-life of 18 F (109.7 min) is very short.…”
