The catecholamine analogue [123I]mIBG has been used for scintigraphic imaging of neuroblastoma since 1984. It is taken up by the noradrenaline transporter (NAT), which is present in most neuroblastoma cells. An alternative imaging method could

L-3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylalanine was fluorinated directly with XeF2 in CH2Cl2 at -60 deg C in vacuo.After hydrolysis with 48percent aqueous HBr, L-6-fluorodopa was obtained.The yield, based on XeF2, was 25percent.This reaction might be applied when chiral biomolecules are to be tagged with fluorine-18.
