To develop PET tracers for imaging of Alzheimer's disease, a new carbon-11-labeled AMPAR allosteric modulator 4-cyclopropyl-7-(3-[C-11] methoxyphenoxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,2,4] thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ([C-11] 8) has been synthesized. The reference standard 4-cyclopropyl-7-(3-methoxyphenoxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,2,4] thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (8) and its corresponding desmethylated precursor 4-cyclopropyl-7-(3-hydroxyphenoxy)3,4- dihydro-2H-benzo[e][1,2,4] thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (9) were synthesized from 4-methoxyabiline and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in eight and nine steps with 3% and 1% overall chemical yield, respectively. The target tracer [C-11] 8 was prepared from the precursor 9 with [C-11] CH3OTf through O-[C-11] methylation and isolated by HPLC combined with SPE in 10-15% radiochemical yield, based on [C-11] CO2 and decay corrected to end of bombardment (EOB). The radiochemical purity was> 99%, and the molar activity (AM) at EOB was 370-740 GBq/mu mol with a total synthesis time of 35-40-minutes from EOB.
