This protocol presents a detailed procedure to prepare four carbon-11 radiotracers by way of the “loop method” [11C]methylation. We describe the procedure to synthesize [11C]ER-176,  with data for three additional radiotracers: [11C]MRB, [11C]mHED, and [11C]PiB. The loop method provides an efficient synthesis with increased radiochemical yields against traditional reaction vessel [11C]methylation.
