Fluorine-containing groups have strong electron-withdrawing effect and high lipophilicity, organic molecules incorporated fluorine-containing groups can improve its function. Therefore, the incorporation of fluorine-containing groups into molecules has become the current research hotspot. The method for incorporation of CF 3 S group becomes one of the hot research field due to its excellent nature. The strategy for incorporation of CF 3 Se, CF 3 O and CF 3 CH 2 O groups has also been the attention of researchers. 18 F has nearly ideal nuclear properties and is the most widely used positron emission tomography (PET) radioisotope for clinical imaging. Therefore, the development of new [ 18 F]radiotracers becomes the research focus of many researchers. The method for 18 F-labeling of biomolecules is the key to the development of new [ 18 F]radiotracers. This paper mainly introduce the recently reported methodology of direct incorporating CF 3 X (X=S, Se, O, CH 2 O) groups into molecules and some research results of 18 F-labeling methods. Furthermore, some noteworthy research directions in this field are summarized.
