Application: Mannose triflate is a well-known precursor for 18F-FDG synthesis for PET applications. The binding of 18F to the mannose triflate has been carried out via SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is used in computational tomography, an imaging technique in early detection of cancer.
Other Notes: This formulation of mannose triflate has reduced trace impurities that are known to cause lower synthetic yields.
