Exploring Palladium-Mediated 11C/12C-Carbonylation Reactions. PET Tracer Development Targeting the Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 241. 99 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0136-5. The work presented herein describes the utilization and exploration of palladium-mediated incorporations of carbon monoxide and/or [11C]carbon monoxide into compounds and structural motifs with biological relevance. The first part of the thesis describes the design, synthesis and 11C-labeling of prospective PET tracers for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), a target affected in several neurodegenerative diseases. Different parts of the benzovesamicol scaffold were modified in papers I and II to probe the binding to VAChT. The key motif was an amide functional group, which enabled the use of palladium-mediated 11C/12C-carbonylations to synthesize and evaluate two different sets of structurally related ligands. The second part of the thesis describes the exploration of different aspects of palladium- mediated 11C/12C-carbonylation reactions.

Abstract: Understanding the host–guest chemistry of α-/β-/γ- cyclodextrins (CDs) and a wide range of organic species are fundamentally attractive, and are finding broad contemporary applications toward developing efficient drug delivery systems. With the widely used β-CD as the host, we herein demonstrate that its inclusion behaviors toward an array of six simple and bio-conjugatable adaman- tane derivatives, namely, 1-adamantanol (adm-1-OH), 2-adamantanol (adm-2-OH), adamantan-1- amine (adm-1-NH2), 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (adm-1-COOH), 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic acid (adm-1,3-diCOOH), and 2-[3-(carboxymethyl)-1-adamantyl]acetic acid (adm-1,3-diCH2COOH), offer inclusion adducts with diverse adamantane-to-CD ratios and spatial guest locations. In all six cases, β-CD crystallizes as a pair supported by face-to-face hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl Citation: Wang, J.-W.; Yu, K.-X.; Ji, groups on C2 and C3 and their adjacent equivalents, giving rise to a truncated-cone-shaped cavity X.-Y.; Bai, H.; Zhang, W.-H.; Hu, X.; to accommodate one, two, or three adamantane derivatives.
