Abstract
For in vivo receptor studies N-[11C]methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromo-amphetamine, [11C]MDOB, was synthesized by the reaction of [11C]CH3I with DOB in acetonitrile. The labelling yield was determined in dependence on amount of precursor, time and temperature of the methylation reaction. During 10 to 15 minutes 60% to 70% of [11C]MDOB has been obtained at 110°C.
