Abstract

We report a facile, transition metal-free synthesis of fluorobenzoic acids by nucleophilic fluorination of readily available 1-arylbenziodoxolones using fluoride salts in polar aprotic solvents. This protocol was applied for the preparation of 2-[18F]-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoic acid, which is a potentially important radioligand for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
