Recent results for the synthesis of F-18 labeled 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose ((F-18)2-FDG) have shown that stereochemical control of the glycal carbon-carbon double bond addition reaction depends upon several factors, including solvent polarity and structure of the substrate. Investigation of the stereochemical course of electrophilic fluorinations with F-18 labeled fluorine (F/sub 2/) and acetyl hypofluorite (AcOF) has been extended to include reactions with the following glycal/solvent combinations: 1) 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal (TAG) in freon (CFCl/sub 3/), acetic acid and acetonitrile, and 2) D-glucal in water, acetic acid, and acetonitrile. Following hydrolysis of the fluorinated crude mixture (1N HCl, 120/sup 0/C, 10-20 min) and column purification, the products were analyzed by Fourier transform F-19 NMR. Several interesting features have been observed for these reactions. For example, the reaction of D-glucal in acetonitrile with either F/sub 2/ or AcOF yields mainly 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (2-FDM; 2-FDM: 2-FDG approx. =4). In contrast, TAG in freon reacted with ACOF (gas phase) to give nearly pure 2-FDG (-- 95% radiochemical purity). Thus, by appropriate choice of solvent, substrate, and fluorinating agent (F/sub 2/ or AcOF), control over the 2-FDG: 2-FDM ratio can be effected for these reactions.
