A copper-mediated nucleophilic radiofluorination of aryl- and vinylstannanes with [<sup>18</sup>F]KF is described. This method is fast, uses commercially available reagents, and is compatible with both electron-rich and electron-deficient arene substrates. This method has been applied to the manual synthesis of a variety of clinically relevant radiotracers including protected [<sup>18</sup>F]F-phenylalanine and [<sup>18</sup>F]F-DOPA. In addition, an automated synthesis of [<sup>18</sup>F]MPPF i ...[more]
