Studies of the applications of arylsilane intermediates to radiobrominations have continued with the syntheses of four trimethylsilyl(TMS) substituted phenethylamines. Initial radiobromination studies have involved the nonprotected amines to determine if the ipso electrophilic substitution reactions would occur prior to reaction of the halogen with the amine. Indeed, radiobrominations of 1,2,and4 using carrier-added bromine-77 and stoichiometric amounts of N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) gave the desired products in good yields. Radiobrominations of 3 under identical reaction conditions yielded a product which was consistent with compound 9 by chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses. When the oxidizing agent was used in excess of bromide ion, a significant amount of a more lipophlic radiobrominated compound was also observed by radio HPLC. The lipophilic compound was the major product when t-BuOCl was used as the oxidant, but was only a minor product when NCS was used. The syntheses of the phenethylamines, 1-8, was accomplished via standard methods (e.g. Knoevenagel Reaction), and is described.
