The synthesis of a novel technetium‐99m labelled derivative of L ‐tyrosine as a potential tumour imaging agent for nuclear medicine diagnosis is reported. The synthesis involved the labelling precursor fac ‐[ 99m Tc(OH 2 )(CO) 3 ] + which was synthesized using the commercially available Isolink ® ‐labelling kit and the tyrosine derivative O‐(N,N‐bis (carboxymethyl)aminoethyl)‐ L ‐tyrosine trifluoroacetate. The labelled compound O ‐( 99m Tc(I)‐tricarbonyl‐ N,N‐bis (carboxymethyl)aminoethyl)‐ L ‐tyrosine was obtained in a radiochemical yield of 70–80% within 60 min with a radiochemical purity greater than 98% without any HPLC purification step. Purification was achieved merely by solid phase extraction. Chemical as well as chiral purity was determined using gradient‐ and chiral HPLC. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
