Since the days of the “Manhattan Project” our knowledge of the chemistry of fluorine‐con‐
taining compounds has increased tremendously. At first only considered out of curiosity, this …

This review will be devoted to a description of selectively fluorinated biologically active
molecules. Selective fluorination has been an extremely effective tool for modifying …

The first enantioselective epoxide ring opening with hydrofluorinating agents mediated by
chiral non-racemic Lewis acids is reported. The reaction of cyclohexene oxide (1) with …

Over recent years, no other technique has grown to such importance as that of NMR
spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of science where precise structural determination is …

An unstable substance designated PGX was first isolated in 1975 as the transformation
product of the prostaglandin endoperoxides PGHz and PGGz by blood vessel …

Seit den Tagen des” ︁Manhattan Project „hat die Kenntnis fluorhaltiger Verbindungen
sprunghaft zugenommen. Zunächst nur als Kuriosität betrachtet, entwickelte sich dieses …

Ring opening fluorination of epoxides with hydrogen fluoride in ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazorium oligo hydrogenfluoride EMIMF (HF) 2.3 was demonstrated. This ionic …

Many readers will wonder why, when this series has become so well established, it has
been found necessary to change the title. The title, Annual Review of NMR Spectroscopy …
