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 2 of Modern Strategies in Organofluorine Chemistry contains contributions on electrophilic fluorinating agents, the synthesis of monofluoromethylated compounds, aryl and hetaryl fluorides, monofluoroalkenes, hydrofluorination of alkenes and alkynes, the fluorination of C(sp3)-H bonds, the use of C-F bond activation, and the synthesis of fluorinated ?-amino acids. As well as a series of chapters on fluorination under photoredox, electrochemistry, and flow conditions, and on industrial applications of fluorine chemistry.
