title: A simple synthesis of [11C]methyl triflate.
abstract: [11C]Methyl triflate ([11C]methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate) was formed in high yield when [11C]methyl iodide in a nitrogen carrier was passed at 200 degrees C through a column containing graphitized carbon impregnated with 50% by weight of silver triflate.
