New method for introducing fluorinated components into molecules

Chemists have developed a synthesis method for the site-selective integration of the biologically relevant difluoromethyl group into pyridines

21-May-2024 - The difluoromethyl group often determines the properties of bioactive molecules and is therefore particularly interesting for drug research. This atomic group consists of carbon, two fluorine atoms and a hydrogen atom. Derivatives of the chemical compound pyridine are particularly suited for ...
