A process for the production of [.sup.18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose can
produce [.sup.18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose in a high and stable yield of
synthesis. A process for the production of a compound labeled with
radioactive fluorine includes the preparing a reaction solution by
adding, under a hermetic condition, TATM and an inert organic solvent to
a mixture containing [.sup.18F]fluoride ions, a phase transfer catalyst
and potassium ions, giving a reaction condition to the reaction solution
under a hermetic condition to obtain [.sup.18F]-TAFDG, and subjecting the
obtained [.sup.18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose to a deprotection process and,
optionally, to a purification process to obtain
[.sup.18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose.
