Science of Synthesis: Modern Strategies in Organofluorine Chemistry 1

The field of organofluorine chemistry has developed rapidly over the last decades. This two-volume Science of Synthesis set is an opportunity to provide the defining and current reference work for this field, as well as offering an essential resource for anyone interested in this topic. This work brings together reviews dedicated to synthetic methods for the introduction of specific fluorinated functional groups, the use of fluorinating reagents, and fluorination techniques as well as chapters exemplifying organofluorine chemistry in industry. The coverage will be selective: a critical presentation of the best methods available today for practical use in academia and industry.

Volume 1 of Modern Strategies in Organofluorine Chemistry contains contributions on deoxyfluorination and asymmetric fluorination processes, as well as a series of chapters on the installation of particular fluorine-containing functionality, including trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, pentafluorosulfanyl, trifluoromethylsulfanyl, and trifluoromethoxy groups. Methods for the synthesis of acyl fluorides and small fluorinated carbocycles are also covered.
