| Review: | The introduction of carbon–fluorine bonds into organic compounds can profoundly influence their chemical and physical properties and lead to a range of synthetic materials with highly desirable properties. Many important products of the chemical and life science industries, such as Prozac and Teflon, rely on organic fluorine chemistry for their useful properties. This book updates the author’s original 1973 book giving an overview of organofluorine chemistry in a way that corresponds to modern organic chemistry. In this revision he concentrates on illustrating the principles of the subject, especially those concerning highly fluorinated compounds, where the chemistry is quite unusual. He covers both the preparative methodologies and the chemical properties of partially and highly fluorinated organic systems. |
