One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of purifying
radiolabelled compounds comprising a) loading onto a fluorous polymer a
radiolabelled compound precursor comprising a fluoroalkyl tin moiety; b)
reacting the radiolabelled compound precursor with a radiolabel
delivering compound to give a radiolabelled compound, wherein the
fluoroalkyl tin moiety is replaced by a radiolabel; and c) eluting the
radiolabelled compound from the fluorous polymer.
