Enantiocontrolled Synthesis of Fluoro-Organic Compounds: Stereochemical Challenges and Biomedical Targets
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It is clearly the view of the editor and authors who have contributed to this volume that organofluorine chemistry is at a new threshold with an array of methods now available to place fluorine and fluorinated functional groups at stereogenic centres. Such compounds have hardly been exploited commercially. The wealth of information in this book demonstrates this focus which one anticipates will have an increasing impact on the fine chemical, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals sectors. The book is packed with examples from the recent literature and the readers' attention is continually drawn to points of detail and anecdotes as the volume is browsed. This is not just a book for specialists in organo-fluorine chemistry, it is a book for all organic chemists. ... This is a splendid book.", (David O'Hagan, Natural Products Reports)
Book Description
Written by a leading expert in the field, this is a comprehensive review of the methods for preparing stereochemically defined fluorine-containing compounds of biomedical importance.
Fluorinated organic compounds are well known for their unusual reactivity but the growing importance of these compounds in the biomedical field has been accompanied by an increasing awareness of the necessity to synthesise and explore the biological properties of stereochemically defined fluoro-compounds. This is the first book written on this exciting area of research.
It contains:
* detailed reviews on stereocontrolled synthesis of biologically important compounds
* 21 chapters covering the main areas of asymmetric synthesis and biocatalysts where fluorine plays a key role
* mechanisms and methods for synthesizing fluoro-organic compounds
Written for professionals involved in organic, physical and organofluorine chemistry, natural product synthesis, biological, pharmaceutical and other life science related industries.
