Abstract

[18F]-Fluoromisonidazole is the most widely used radiopharmaceutical for imaging hypoxia in tumors. The precursor for [ 18F]-fluoromisonidazole was prepared from 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol in 5 steps from available materials and straightforward purification steps. The overall yield for this synthesis was 18%.
