Fluorodemercuration has the greatest utility for the preparation of 6-[18F]DOPA, but requires separation from unreacted mercury precursor and other mercury-containing compounds. One approach is the development of a polymer-bound mercury precursor. In this study, polymer-bound 6-thiolatomercury and 6-mercuric sulfonate DOPA derivatives, and its monomeric analogs were synthesized. Fluorodemercuration of monomeric analog of mercuric sulfonate gave half the yield (14-15%) while iododemercuration gave the same yield (38%) compared with a 6-mercuric trifluoroacetate protected DOPA. The mercuric sulfonate undergoes halodemercuration, so polymer-bound halodemercuration precursors may be useful as precursors of 6-[18F]DOPA.

Protein-radical enzymes use a free radical located on an intrinsic amino acid residue as a cofactor. The amino acid involved can be a tyrosine (ribonucleotide reductase, photosystem II, prostaglandin H synthase), a modified tyrosine (amine oxidase, galactose oxidase), a tryptophan (cytochrome c peroxidase), a modified tryptophan (methylamine dehydrogenase) or a glycine (ribonucleotide reductase, pyruvate formate lyase). The mechanistic role of these radicals appears to be that of a one-electron gate, allowing the separation of single reducing equivalents in time and space.
