Abstract: | Acidification of target water with H2SO4 in a specially constructed glassy carbon/polyethylene apparatus allowed for recovery of up to 82% of 18F]fluoride as 18F]HF gas. The 18F]HF distillate was found to be acid‐free but moist; when passed through a solution of tBuPh2SiOTf, it yielded 18F]tBuPh2SiF. The multivariate design of experiment showed that the key to high yield of 18F]HF was the efficient degassing of the reaction mixture. |
