Abstract / Description of output

A radical C-11-aminocarbonylation protocol characterized by excellent substrate compatibility was developed to transform alkyl iodides into C-11-labelled amides, including the 11-HSD1 inhibitor [carbonyl-C-11]adamantan-1-yl(piperidin-1-yl)methanone. This protocol serves as a complementary extension of palladium-mediated C-11-aminocarbonylation, which is limited to the preparation of C-11-labelled compounds lacking beta-hydrogen atoms. The use of AIBN as a radical initiator and a low-pressure xenon-[C-11]CO delivery unit represents a simple and convenient alternative to previous radical C-11-carbonylation methodologies burdened with the need for a proprietary high pressure reactor connected to a light source.
