Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a method of preparing a chlorinated, brominated, radiobrominated, iodinated and/or radioiodinated aromatic or heteroaromatic compound, in which the (hetero)aromatic nucleus optionally comprises one or more additional substituents, by reacting the corresponding halogenated or diazonium-substituted compound in the presence of a water-soluble acid and of copper ions as a catalyst with a likewise water-soluble chloride, bromide radiobromide, iodide or radio-iodide, in which the reaction is carried out in the presence of one or more reduction agents, which are stable in acid medium, in a quantity exceeding the quantity of catalyst. The invention also relates to a composition suitable for diagnostic examination and to a kit for the preparation thereof. The invention further relates to a method and an equipment for the preparation of said composition.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 88 words
In a method for preparing a chlorinated, brominated, radiobrominated, iodinated or radioiodinated aromatic or heteromatic compound, in which said compound may be optionally substituted with one or more additional substituents, by reacting the corresponding halogenated or diazonium-substituted compound in an acid medium in the presence of copper ions as a catalyst with a water-soluble chloride, bromide, radiobromide, iodide or radioiodide, the improvement comprising conducting the reaction in the presence of a reducing agent, which is stable in acid medium, in a quantity exceeding the quantity of the catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 88 words
In a method for preparing a chlorinated, brominated, radiobrominated, iodinated or radioiodinated aromatic or heteromatic compound, in which said compound may be optionally substituted with one or more additional substituents, by reacting the corresponding halogenated or diazonium-substituted compound in an acid medium in the presence of copper ions as a catalyst with a water-soluble chloride, bromide, radiobromide, iodide or radioiodide, the improvement comprising conducting the reaction in the presence of a reducing agent, which is stable in acid medium, in a quantity exceeding the quantity of the catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the reducing agent is a Sn (II) salt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of metallic tin, ascorbic acid, citric acid, a monosaccharide and gentisic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method of claim 2 wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of metallic tin, ascorbic acid, citric acid, a monosaccharide and gentisic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method of claim 2 wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of ascorbic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the reducing agent is selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, citric acid, a monosaccharide and a sulphite.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method of claim 1 wherein the reducing agent is ascorbic acid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method of claim 1, 2, or 5 wherein the reaction is carried out in an aqueous solution and a water-miscible solvent.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method of claim 1, 2, or 5 wherein the reaction is carried out at a temperature of about 100° C.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 14 words
A method of claim 9 wherein the water-miscible solvent comprises ethanol, methanol or acetone.
