Cross-couplings are an alternative to conventional C-11-methylations which are generally employed in PET tracer synthesis. Therefore, we set out to develop a general procedure for the synthesis of para-(CH3)-C-11 labeled aromatic amines from the corresponding para-aminoarylboronic esters in the presence of free amines. Aryl boronic esters containing primary, secondary, and tertiary amines were successfully converted into corresponding labeled methyl derivatives in sufficient radiochemical yield to apply this method for tracer development. This procedure was applied to the labeling of CIMBI-712, a promising candidate for the in vivo imaging of the 5-HT7 receptor in the CNS. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
