Organofluorine Chemistry Fluorinated Alkenes and Reactive Intermediates [Paperback]

The excitement of the chemistry of organofluorine compounds stems from the unique reactions that arise and the special effects that introduction of fluorine impart on a molecule. Indeed, these effects are now exploited in a remarkable array of applications the whole of the chemical, pharmaceutical, and plant-protection industries. In this two-volume set, we have gathered authors with immense experience in various aspects of their fields and each is a world-authority on the important topics which they have described. The first volume treats the chemistry of fluorinated alkenes, which are important building-blocks for the synthesis of a range of fluorinated systems and are used widely in industry. The second volume is directed to techniques and synthons for obtaining fluorinated compounds.Nucleophilic reactions of fluorinated alkenes.- Reactions of electrophiles with polyfluorinated olefins.- Fluorinated free radicals.- Telomerisation Reactions of fluorinated alkenes.1. Organofluorine compounds are of increasing importance over a wide range of applications and therefore the book will be valuable to many people in industry and academia. 2. This timely two-volume set presents state-of-the-art discussions of the chemistry of fluorinated alkenes and the synthesis of fluorinated systems. 3. The editor and authors are internationally recognised experts in the field.Springer Book Archives
