  5. Why Fluorine? – Properties • Special properties: • High electronegativity • Relatively small size • C-F bond: • Strongest bond with carbon • Lenght similar C-O bond • Trifluoromethyl (CF3) volume similiar to ethyl (CH3CH2) Bondi, A. J. Phys. Chem.1964, 68, 441-451. Jeschke, P. ChemBioChem2004, 5, 570-589. Smart, B. E. J. Fluorine Chem. 2001, 109, 3-11. Banks, R. E. J. Fluorine Chem.1998, 87, 1-17. Müller, K.; Faeh, C.; Diederich, F. Science2007, 317, 1881-1886.

  6. Why Fluorine? – Utility in Different Fields • Useful in medical chemistry: • Increase metabolic stability: oxidation by liver enzymes (P450 cytochromes) : block reactive site by the introduction of a fluorine atom • Reduces basicity when close to a basic group (better membrane permeability) • Fluorine in nuclear medicine: • PET : Positron emission tomography • Nuclear medical imaging in vivo • 18F tracer has longer half life • Crop protection: • 28% of the halogenated products between 1940-2003 contained fluorine • Environmental friendly compare to others halogens • Material industry • Fluorinated polymers exhibit interesting properties (high thermal stability, chemical inertness) Böhm, H.-J.; Banner, D.; Bendels, S.; Kansy, M.; Kuhn, B.; Müller, K.; Obst-Sander, U.; Stahl, M. ChemBioChem2004, 5, 637−643. Phelps, M. E. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2000, 97, 9226-9233. Jeschke, P. ChemBioChem2004, 5, 570-589. Okazoe, T. Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B2009, 85, 276-289.

  7. Fluorine Incorporation • Nucleophilic fluorination: • Small size of the atom and low polarisability encourages F- to act more like a base rather than a nucleophile • Various nucleophilic reagents (F-, S-F reagents) • Electrophilic fluorination: • Not easily achieved because fluorine is the most electronegative element • Use of N-F reagents (even 5% F2 in N2) • Radical fluorination: • Use of N-F reagents Kirk, K. L. Org. Process Res. Dev.2008, 12, 305-321.

  8. Mono-Fluorination – Literature Precedent • Functional group transformation: • Nucleophilic fluorination Yadav, A. K.; Srivastava, V. P.; Yadav, L. D. S. Chem. Commun. 2013, 49, 2154-2156.
