Elsevier Organofluorine Chemistry: Synthesis and Applications

Organofluorine Chemistry: Synthesis and Applications gives a comprehensive outlook on modern synthetic methodologies for organofluorine compounds. It illustrates chemical, biochemical, and materials applications of fluorine-containing compounds, including synthesis and applications of fluorinated nanoscopic materials for drug delivery and catalysis. This book is of use to practitioners working in interdisciplinary areas such as chemical-, biochemical-, and biomedical engineering, as well as those involved in materials science and medicinal chemistry. It is also a useful reference for researchers and graduate students in working in organofluorine chemistry. Review Focuses on synthesis and applications of organofluorine chemistry in emerging interdisciplinary areas From the Back Cover Focuses on synthesis and applications of organofluorine chemistry in a range of emerging interdisciplinary areas Provides modern synthetic methods and reactions of organofluorine compounds Incorporates the synthesis and chemical, biochemical and biomedical applications of fluorine-containing compounds, nanomaterials, PET imaging agents, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals Features emerging "hot" topics, such as C-H, C-F activation and organometallic catalysis Illustrates recent advances in fluorous reagents and solvents and their applications in green chemistry and catalysis Organofluorine Chemistry: Synthesis and Applications gives a comprehensive outlook on modern synthetic methodologies for organofluorine compounds.
