  ABSTRACT: Cu(OTf)2(Py)4 mediated radiofluorination of the boronate esters of ethyl benzoyl and phthaloylglycinates (11 and 16) using 10 mol% of the copper complex following the literature procedure did not provide the fluorinated products. However, the addition of Cu(OTf)2resulted in the radio-fluorination of the boronate esters 11 and 16 to obtain ethyl 4-[18F]fluorobenzoyl glycinate, 17, (48%) and ethyl 3-[18F]phthaloylglycinate (41%) respectively.
