What is Synthesis of [^11^C]levofloxacin about?

## Abstract Levofloxacin, the pure S enantiomer of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ofloxacin, was labeled via methylation of the corresponding, __des__‐methyl, secondary amine with N.C.A. [^11^C]methyl iodide. The methylation reaction was regioselective, giving predominantly the preferred methyl amine at high temperature in DMF, while otherwise giving predominantly the methyl ester of a free carboxylic acid also present in the molecule. Levofloxacin was obtained in 80% chemical yield after a 45 min synthesis. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
