Abstract
This review article summarizes the recent information regarding general aspects in the automated synthesis of 18F-labelled PET radiotracers that are prepared via nucleophilic fluorination pathway. The previous and on-going researches in development of different automation solutions are discussed and the current trends in large scale production of radiotracers are considered. The advantages and limitations of the fully automated systems available from different manufacturers are exemplified by routine automated production of several clinically relevant 18F-radiotracers using traditional automated synthesizers, kit-based (cassette-type) radiochemistry modules and modular systems.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
