No carrier-added ¹⁸F fluoride was produced via the ¹⁹F(n,2n)¹⁸F reaction by 14 MeV neutron irradiation of 2-fluoroaniline and subsequent extraction of the produced ¹⁸F fluoride ion with water. The fluoride was then purified by liquid chromatography on a Chromabond-NO₂ column. The time required for all chemical procedures was about 1 h. The average chemical separation yield was about 70%. The ¹⁸F activity obtained after 3 hours of irradiation at a flux rate of 10⁸ n cm^-2s^-1 after a necessary 20-min delay was equal to several kBq per gram of fluorine in a 2-fluoroaniline sample, in accordance with the theoretically expected value. Improvement of the ¹⁸F production yield can be achieved by increasing neutron fluxes. Neutron generators with 14 MeV neutron fluxes of the order of 10¹⁰ n cm^-2s^-1 can produce tens MBq of 18F, sufficient for whole-day work in biomedical applications. Our results show that 14 MeV neutron irradiation of 2-fluoroaniline is a low cost alternative for the production of this nuclide in the countries which do not posses either cyclotrons or electron linear accelerator facilities.
