Introduction to Organofluorine Chemistry

The study of organic compounds containing fluorine is full of surprises and has substantial theoretical significance as well as practical commercial value. The field has significantly matured in recent decades, prompting a need for a current textbook that can serve as an entry point into this fascinating sub-discipline. Introduction to Organofluorine Chemistry is intended to answer that need.This comprehensive and well-structured book is divided into seven sections of 28 chapters. Readers are first introduced to the privileged role and landmark developments of the ninth element, its physical chemistry, and its fascinating effects on reactive intermediates. The second half of the text covers the synthesis, reactions and analysis of organofluorine compounds. The astonishing ability of fluoroorganics to exert their importance in a plethora of fields is sketched out in the final segment.
