Abstract
There is an emerging interest in the development of synthetic methodologies for the organofluorine compounds because of their enormous significance in the area of medicinal chemistry. Selective fluorinating reagents such as Selectfluor, diethylaminosulfur trifluoride, Deoxo-Fluor, and Fluolead are widely used for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds. This chapter outlines various synthetic methodologies that are used for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and is focused on the general reactions that have broad significance. Fluorination reactions, involving hydrofluorination of alkenes and alkynes; deoxyfluorinations of alcohols and carbonyl compounds; nucleophilic-, electrophilic-, and radical-mediated trifluoromethylations; and transition-metal-catalyzed fluorinations are discussed as relevant to their applications in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds.
