Abstract

The development of a novel electrochemical methodology to generate carbon-11 carbon monoxide ([ <superscript>11</superscript> C]CO) from cyclotron-produced carbon-11 carbon dioxide ([ <superscript>11</superscript> C]CO <subscript>2</subscript> ) using Ni(cyclam) and Zn(cyclen) complexes is described. This methodology allows up to 10% yields of [ <superscript>11</superscript> C]CO from [ <superscript>11</superscript> C]CO <subscript>2</subscript> . Produced [ <superscript>11</superscript> C]CO was subsequently converted to [ <superscript>11</superscript> C]N-benzylbenzamide under mild conditions with a radiochemical purity (RCP) of >98%.
