[ 18 F]AM694, [1‐(5‐[ 18 F]fluoropentyl)‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl]‐(2‐iodophenyl)methanone, 1b , a potential radiotracer for imaging of cerebral cannabinoid receptor (CB 1 ), has been synthesized by no‐carrier‐added regioselective radiofluorination of the corresponding tosylate. [ 18 F]AM694 was obtained in 20% radiochemical yield (non‐decay‐corrected) with a specific activity of 14 500 mCi/µmol, a radiochemical purity of > 99%, and a chemical purity of 95.5%.
