[F-18]ClF is a suitable labeling reagent for electrophilic addition to double bonds of PET tracers. The results show that the modification of the pentafluoro group of [F-18]EF5 by monofluorine-for-chlorine exchange affected the lipophilicity, but the hypoxia avidity of these molecules was not apparently altered.
