Copper-Mediated Radiobromination of (Hetero)Aryl Boronic Pinacol Esters.

ABSTRACT: A copper-mediated radiobromination of (hetero)aryl boronic pinacol esters is described. Cyclotron-produced [^76/77Br]bromide was isolated using an anion exchange cartridge, wherein the pre-equilibration and elution solutions played a critical role in downstream deboro-bromination. The bromination tolerates a broad range of functional groups, labeling molecules with ranging electronic and steric effects. Bologically active radiopharmaceuticals were synthesized, including two radiobrominated inhibitors of poly ADP ribose polymerase, a clinically relevant chemotherapeutic target for ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.
