We report a last‐step fluorinase‐catalyzed [ 18 F]‐fluorination of a cysteine‐containing RGD peptide. The peptide was attached through sulfur to a modified and more hydrophilic variant of the recently disclosed Barbas linker which was itself linked to a chloroadenosine moiety via a PEGylated chain. The fluorinase was able to use this construct as a substrate for a transhalogenation reaction to generate [ 18 F]‐radiolabeled RGD peptides, which retained high affinity to cancer‐cell relevant α v β 3 integrins.
