A general 11C-labeling approach enabled by fluoride-mediated desilylation of organosilanes

Convenient and fast methods to introduce 11C into organic molecules are of great help for molecular imaging studies. Here, the authors developed an efficient incorporation of [11C]CO2 and [11C]CH3I into molecules via a fluoride-mediated desilylation process.
