A no-carrier-added, high specific activity synthesis of [11C-methyl]-thymidine is reported. Reaction of 3'. 5'-O-bis-(tetrahydropyramyl)-5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine with n-butylithium produced a diamion which was alkylated with [11C]-methyl iodide, and on subsequent hydrolysis, yielded [IIC-methyl]-thymidine. The labeled compound was isolated from the by-product 2'-deoxymidine by HPLC on a reverse phase C18 semipreparative column with mean radiochemical yield of 18.8% (decay corrected) in 30-35 min and radiochemical purity >99%. This no-carrier-added synthesis can be used to produce [11C-methyl]-thymidine with mean specific activity over 1000 mCi/mumol for positron emission tomography (PET) studies.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
