Abstract

Through the use of iododemercuration, 5-[123/125I]iodo-2′-deoxyuridine was synthesized rapidly and with high radiochemical purity from 5-chloromercuri-2′-deoxyuridine. The synthesis of radioiodinated 2′-deoxyuridine was achieved in one step in the presence of Iodogen in 50% yield after isolation by reverse phase high performance column chromatography. The radiochemical purity was greater than 99%. The ease and rapidity of both preparation and isolation of no-carrier-added 5-[123/125I]iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, as well as the absence of any starting material, suggests that radiohalodemercuration may be the method of choice for this and structurally similar compounds.
