Organofluorine Compounds

In view of increasing interest in organofluorine compounds, this book was undertaken to describe biological and physical properties of organofluorine compunds, synthetic methods of these, their roles in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and material sciences. In particular, the book will emphasize on the usefulness of fluorination reaction, availability of fluorination agents, so that even graduate students who are unfamiliar to this field can understand and participate in this fascinating heteroatom chemistry.
