The rapid, simple and high‐yield synthesis of the extraordinarily reactive 11 C‐methylating agent, [ 11 C]methyl nona‐fluorobutyl‐1‐sulfonate ([ 11 C]MeONf), and its use in the synthesis of the promising β‐amyloid imaging agent, [ 11 C]‐6‐OH‐BTA‐1, is reported. In terms of radioactive methylation yields, [ 11 C]MeONf seems to surpass [ 11 C]methyl trifluoromethansulfonate ([ 11 C]MeOTf) as a methylating agent in this particular case giving the 11 C‐labelled compound in high‐preparative radiochemical yields between 27 and 29% EOS with a minimum formation of radioactive by‐products.
