Abstract
The optimum Parameters of labelling rose bengal in a polar organic medium are discussed. The halide exchange with inactive rose bengal gave over 90% yield within one hour reaction time with undegraded final product. This generalized method can be applied successfully to label any iodinated organic compound, such as hypuran, thyroxine , tyrosine or aliphatic fatty acids, for application in nuclear medicine .
