Enantiocontrolled Synthesis of Fluoro-Organic Compounds: Stereochemical Challenges and Biomedical Targets

"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)
