Novel synthesis of fluorinated molecules with potential in drug research developed

The new synthetic method relies on two fundamentally challenging chemical processes

25-Jun-2024 - A research team from Kiel has described a method for directly converting carbon-hydrogen bonds in carboxylic acids into carbon-fluorine bonds. Carboxylic acids are one of the most important substance classes in chemistry and are a component of many drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. To tailor ...
