The use of E-vinylmercury bromides as precursors for the preparation of (E,Z)-vinylradiobromides has been investigated. E-iodovinylboronic acids were treated with Hg(OAc)/sub 2/ in THF to give the mercuric acetates, which were converted to the corresponding vinylmercury bromides by reaction with NH/sub 4/Br. Addition of Br/sub 2/ (or Br/sub 2/ + NH/sub 4/ /sup 82/Br) gave instantaneously the (E,Z)-vinylbromides 4 (or (/sup 82/Br)4) analyzed by GLC, NMR and CandH. Coupling of Na-Te-(CH/sub 2/)/sub 3/-COOEt (5) with (/sup 82/Br)4 (n=11) and subsequent hydrolysis gave (E,Z)-18-(/sup 82/Br)bromo-5-tellura-17-octadecenoic acid (6) which was characterized and evaluated in rats. Compound (E,Z)-6 shows uptake and retention similar to the radioiodonated (E) analogue suggesting that the /sup 75/Br- and /sup 76/Br-labeled agents may be good candidates for PET studies.
