Enantiocontrolled Synthesis of Fluoro-Organic Compounds

Fluorinated organic compounds are well known for their unusual reactivity but fluorine can also dramatically influence the stereochemical outcome of reactions providing a challenge to organic synthetic chemists. Enantiocontrolled Synthesis of Fluoro-organic Compounds is a comprehensive review of the methods for preparing stereochemically defined fluorine-containing compounds. This is the first book devoted to stereochemical aspects of fluorine chemistry and contains:*detailed reviews on stereocontrolled synthesis of biologically important compounds*21 chapters covering the main areas of asymmetric synthesis and biocatalysis 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.
