The first organomediated asymmetric 18F fluorination has been accomplished using a chiral imidazolidinone and [18F]N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide. The method provides access to enantioenriched 18F-labeled α-fluoroaldehydes (>90 % ee), which are versatile chiral 18F synthons for the synthesis of radiotracers. The utility of this process is demonstrated with the synthesis of the PET (positron emission tomography) tracer (2S,4S)-4-[18F]fluoroglutamic acid.
