title: A technetium intermediate specifically promotes deprotection of trifluoroacetyl HYNIC during radiolabelling under mild conditions.
abstract: The trifluoroacetyl group protects the nucleophilic HYNIC from unwanted side reactions yet allows radiolabelling with technetium-99m under mild conditions, due to efficient and specific promotion of deprotection by a technetium complex intermediate.
