Fluorine‐18 labeled (2S,4S)‐4‐fluoro‐l‐proline (cis‐[18F]4‐FPro) has been reported to be a potential positron emission tomography tracer to study abnormal collagen synthesis occurring in pulmonary fibrosis, osteosarcomas, mammary and colon carcinomas. In this paper, we report the stereospecific radiofluorination of (2S,4R)‐N‐tert‐butoxycarbonyl‐4‐(p‐toluenesulfonyloxy) proline methyl ester (at 110°C) to produce diastereomerically pure cis‐[18F]4‐FPro in 38% radiochemical yield at the end of a 90‐min synthesis. Investigation of the effect of temperature on the stereospecificity of nucleophilic fluorination showed that diasteriomerically pure cis‐[18F]4‐FPro or trans‐[18F]4‐FPro was produced at lower temperatures (85°C–110°C) during the fluorination of (2S,4R) or (2S,4S) precursors, respectively. However, at higher temperatures (130°C–145°C), fluorination of (2S,4R) precursor produced a mixture of cis‐[18F]4‐FPro and trans‐[18F]4‐FPro diastereomers with cis‐[18F]4‐FPro as the predominant isomer. Hydrolysis of the purified fluorinated intermediate was carried out either in one step, using 2 m triflic acid at 145°C for 10 min, or in two steps where the intermediate was heated in 1 m HCl at 110°C for 10 min followed by stirring at room temperature in 1 N NaOH for 5 min. The aqueous hydrolysis mixture was loaded onto an anion exchange column (acetate form for one‐step hydrolysis) or an ion retardation column (two‐step hydrolysis) followed by a C18 Sep‐Pak® (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). Pure cis‐[18F]4‐FPro was then eluted with sterile water. We also report that epimerization of cis‐[18F]4‐FPro occurs during the two‐step hydrolysis (H+ followed by OH−) of the intermediate, resulting in 5 ± 3% trans‐[18F]4‐FPro, whereas the one‐step acid hydrolysis yielded pure cis‐[18F]4‐FPro in the final product.
