Enantiocontrolled Synthesis of Fluoro-Organic Compounds: Stereochemical Challenges and Biomedical Targets (0471973726) cover image

Written by a leading expert in the field, this is a comprehensivereview of the methods for preparing stereochemically definedfluorine-containing compounds of biomedical importance.

Fluorinated organic compounds are well known for their unusualreactivity but the growing importance of these compounds in thebiomedical field has been accompanied by an increasing awareness ofthe necessity to synthesise and explore the biological propertiesof stereochemically defined fluoro-compounds. This is the firstbook written on this exciting area of research.

It contains:

* detailed reviews on stereocontrolled synthesis of biologicallyimportant compounds

* 21 chapters covering the main areas of asymmetric synthesis andbiocatalysts where fluorine plays a key role

* mechanisms and methods for synthesizing fluoro-organiccompounds

Written for professionals involved in organic, physical andorganofluorine chemistry, natural product synthesis, biological,pharmaceutical and other life science related industries.
