Abstract: A method for synthesizing an aluminium-fluoride complex obtainable by reacting together: a salt made of aluminium(III) and counterions of aluminium(III) other than chloride(I), and a fluoride anion; or a chelate bearing molecule precomplexed with aluminium(III), obtained from treating the chelate bearing molecule with a salt made of aluminium(III) and counterions of aluminium(III) other than chloride(I), and a fluoride anion; the fluoride being [19F]fluoride or radioactive [18F]fluoride; wherein the counterions of aluminium(III) other than chloride are selected from bromide, iodide, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, sulphonate, hydroxide, any anionic salt of natural and non-natural amino acids, 2,4-pentanedionate, 8-hydroxyquinoline, acetate, acrylate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, besylate, bitartrate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, decanoate, esylate, fumarate, gentisate, gluconate, glutamate, glutarate, glycinate dihydroxide, glycolate, hexanoate, hydroxynaphthoate, isethionate, lactate, lactobi

Abstract: The present invention relates to sulfonium salts of formula (I): (I), their preparation, and utility as precursors for preparing functionalized organic compounds, wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and each is independently selected from an optionally substituted aryl group, an optionally substituted alkynyl group, an optionally substituted alkenyl group, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group, an optionally substituted cycloalkenyl group, an optionally substituted aralkyl group, an optionally substituted arylalkenyl group, an optionally substituted heteroaryl group, an optionally substituted heterocyclyl group, an optionally substituted amine, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted thioether group, an optionally substituted phosphine group, an optionally substituted boron species, an optionally substituted carbene, an organometallic moiety, and a halide, or R1 and R2 are joined together to form an optionally substituted sulfur-con

Abstract: Dibenzylidene and heterobenzylideneacetone derivatives, related 4-piperidones, related 4-thiopyranones and the corresponding sulfinyl- and sulfonyl-analogues for their use for prophylaxis or treatment of trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis.
