Ionic liquid supported organotin reagents to prepare molecular imaging and therapy agentsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c5ob02459e

Efficiency of ionic liquid supported organotin reagents in halodemetalation reaction has been investigated. High radiochemical yields of astatinated and iodinated compounds have been obtained using simple work-up procedure. This methodology represents a straightforward approach for the preparation of molecular imaging and therapy agents in nuclear medicine.
