Title: Fluorine chemistry for organic chemists
Description: "Fluorine Chemistry for Organic Chemists discusses the many properties of this maverick halogen and provides practice situations, solutions and a general guide to working with this versatile element and its compounds. Through examples culled from many years of experimentation, this book is a virtual how-to-guide to fluorine compounds. Everything from reductions to pyrolysis is covered here, with chapters emphasizing reactions of fluoro compounds with halogens and their derivatives, with sulfur trioxide, hydrolyses, alkylations, aldol-type condensations, organometallic syntheses, nucleophilic additions, acid catalyzed additions and substitutions, and molecular rearrangements. 105 of the most exceptional or unpredictable reactions for fluorine compounds are first presented as problems to be solved, allowing for hands-on practice at solutions before the answers are given; explanations, products and reaction mechanisms are detailed in the second half of the book."--Jacket.
