  ABSTRACT: The synthesis of a promising brain imaging agent 4-[F-18]fluoro-4-deoxy-N-acetyl-1,3,6-tri-O-acetylglucosamine, 2, was successfully accomplished from commercially available N-acetyl glucosamine in 5 steps. The non-decay corrected radiochemical yield and purity were found to be 31% ± 4% (n = 3) and >98% respectively. The total reaction time for radio labelling step was 50 min.
