Abstract

Abstract The α 2 ‐adrenergic receptor antagonist atipamezole has been labelled with carbon‐11 using [ 11 C]formaldehyde and 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxoacetylindane. Various routes are proposed for the synthesis of the latter: oxidation of 2‐acetyl‐2‐ethylindane, hydrolysis of 2‐diethoxy‐2‐indane and oxidation of 2‐diazoacetyl‐2‐ethylindane. The average radiochemical yield of [ 11 C]atipamezole was 24% based on [ 11 C]formaldehyde, and the synthesis time, including HPLC purification and formulation, was 45 min.
