•Crop protection:28% of the halogenated products between 1940-2003 contained fluorineEnvironmental friendly compare to others halogens
•Material industryFluorinated polymers exhibit interesting properties (high thermal stability, chemical inertness)
•Useful in medical chemistry:Increase metabolic stability: oxidation by liver enzymes (P450 cytochromes) : block reactive site by the introduction of a fluorine atomReduces basicity when close to a basic group (better membrane permeability)
Fluorine Incorporation
7Kirk, K. L. Org. Process Res. Dev. 2008, 12, 305-321.
•Nucleophilic fluorination: Small size of the atom and low polarisability encourages F- to act more like a base rather than a nucleophileVarious nucleophilic reagents (F-, S-F reagents)
•Electrophilic fluorination: Not easily achieved because fluorine is the most electronegative elementUse of N-F reagents (even 5% F2 in N2)
•Radical fluorination:Use of N-F reagents
