Popis: Here we describe use of the tetrabutylammonium p-toluenesulfonate (TBAOTs) as an inert phase transfer catalyst allowing high efficient aliphatic radiofluorination of labeling precursors for the preparation of common radiotracers using only 0.2–1.2 mg of the substrates. With operational convenience (no need for azeotropic drying) and compatibility with the common types of strong anion-exchange cartridges (QMA), this method has a high potential for routine application in various automated synthesizers and offers significant costs reductions due to less precursors used.
