[ 11 C]MENET, a promising norepinephrine transporter imaging agent, was prepared by Suzuki cross coupling of 1 mg N‐t ‐Boc pinacolborate precursor with [ 11 C]CH 3 I in DMF using palladium complex generated in situ from Pd 2 (dba) 3 and ( o ‐CH 3 C 6 H 4 ) 3 P together with K 2 CO 3 as the co‐catalyst, followed by deprotection with trifluoroacetic acid. This improved radiolabeling method provided [ 11 C]MENET in high radiochemical yield at end of synthesis (EOS, 51 ± 3%, decay‐corrected from end of 11 CH 3 I synthesis, n = 6), moderate specific activity (1.5–1.9 Ci/µmol at EOS), and high radiochemical (>98%) and chemical purity (>98%) in a synthesis time of 60 ± 5 min from the end of bombardment.
