Abstract:
Isotopically labeled formaldehyde (*CHO) is prepared from labeled methyl iodide (*CHI) by reaction with an oxygen nucleophile having a pendant leaving group. The mild and efficient reaction conditions result in good yields of *CHO with little or no *C isotopic dilution. The simple, efficient production of CHO is described. The use of the CHO for the formation of positron emission tomography tracer compounds is described. The reaction can be incorporated into automated equipment available to radiochemistry laboratories. The isotopically labeled formaldehyde can be used in a variety of reactions to provide radiotracer compounds for imaging studies as well as for scintillation counting and autoradiography.

Abstract:
A method for providing C-labeled cyanides from C labeled oxides in a target gas stream retrieved from an irradiated high pressure gaseous target containing O, wherein C labeled oxides are reduced with Hin the presence of a nickel catalyst under a pressure and a temperature sufficient to form a product stream comprising at least about 95% CH, the CHis then combined with an excess of NHin a carrier/reaction stream flowing at an accelerated velocity and the combined CH4 carrier/reaction stream is then contacted with a platinum (Pt) catalyst particulate supported on a substantially-chemically-nonreactive heat-stable support at a temperature of at least about 900 C., whereby a product stream comprising at least about 60% HCN is provided in less than 10 minutes from retrieval of the C labeled oxide.

Gene activity is so responsive to the environment, we simply cant study it outside of its natural context, said chemist Jacob Hooker of Massachusetts General Hospital, who led the research, published in Science Translational Medicine. [Dead] brains and living brains will look very different.

New imaging method shows how genes activate in the living brain
todays study, scientists injected eight healthy patients with the compound and then tracked it with PET brain scans. This has provided us with "the first glimpse into living human brains" of how these enzymes work, says Jacob Hooker, director of radiochemistry at Martinos and co-author of the study.
