The <i>trans</i>-fluoro-2-butenyl group has been previously utilized as an <i>N</i>-substituent on several nortropanes for imaging the dopamine transporter with positron emission tomography. We report here a simplified and shorter synthesis of <i>trans</i>-1-tosyloxy-4-substituted-2-butenes using Ag(I) salts. This methodology was also applied to the synthesis of the <i>cis</i>-isomers. Furthermore, these procedures allow for the recovery of the majority of the Ag(I) ions. ...[more]
