Herein a new 11 C radiolabelling strategy for the fast and efficient synthesis of thioureas and related derivatives using the novel synthon, 11 CS 2 , is reported. This approach has enabled the facile labelling of a potent progesterone receptor (PR) agonist, [ 11 C]Tanaproget, by the intramolecular reaction of the acyclic aminohydroxyl precursor with 11 CS 2 , which has potential applications as a positron emission tomography radioligand for cancer imaging.
