Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an organic compound comprising an 18F atom. The compounds comprising an 18F can be useful as PET ligands for use in diagnostics and/or scanning. The process of the invention comprises treating an organoboron compound, which organoboron compound comprises a boron atom bonded to an sp2 hybridized carbon atom, with (i) 18F— and (ii) a copper compound. The invention also provides the use of an organoboron compound, which organoboron compound comprises a boron atom bonded to an sp2 hybridized carbon atom, in a process for producing an organic compound comprising an 18F atom, which process comprises treating the organoboron compound with (i)18F— and (ii) a copper compound.

Abstract: This invention describes a process for covalently coupling organic compounds which comprises reacting an olefinic compound having a halogen or halogen-like substituent at a coupling position with a diboron derivative in the presence of a Group VIII metal catalyst and a suitable base.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a diboronic acid ester comprising contacting diboronic acid with a suitable monoalcohol, diol or polyol, for a time and under conditions such that the diboronic acid reacts with the monoalcohol, diol or polyol to form the diboronic acid ester.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting analytes with indicator systems which may undergo a molecular configurational change upon exposure to the analyte. The configurational change affects a detectable quality associated with the indicator system, thereby allowing detection of the presence or concentration of the analyte.
