Efficient synthesis of new tetradentate ligands with potential applications for 64Cu PET-imaging

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Feb 1;21(3):924-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.12.072. Epub 2010 Dec 19.

Abstract

We wish to report the synthesis of new tetradentate ligands in less than 3h in good to excellent yields from a commercially available compound using microwave-assisted technology. First tests of complexation showed a high ability of these ligands to chelate (64)Cu(II) in very diluted medium. These new systems have the potential to be used for nuclear medicine and particularly for PET-imaging.
