We synthesized [ 18 F]trifluoromethyl‐ l ‐tryptophan ([ 18 F]CF 3 ‐ l ‐Trp) using Cu(I)‐mediated [ 18 F]trifluoromethylation to image serotonergic system. Radiochemical yield was 6 ± 1.5% (n = 9), and radiochemical purity was over 99%. The molar activity was 0.44 to 0.76 GBq/μmol. [ 18 F]CF 3 ‐ l ‐Trp was stable for up to 6 hours in mouse and human sera at 37°C. Protein‐binding was 0.26 ± 0.03% and 0.34 ± 0.02% in human and mouse serum at 60 minutes, respectively. In conclusion, enantiopure [ 18 F]CF 3 ‐ l ‐Trp was synthesized as a feasible imaging agent for the serotonergic system.
