Fluoro-organics

The unique properties of the C-F bond have prompted a dramatic development of the fluorochemicals industry, especially applications in modern medicine and healthcare.

Fluoxetine (ProzacTM)

LipitorTM (atorvastatin calcium)

 

Much has been written as to why the incorporation of fluorine into organic substrates improves their physical properties, however, one thing is clear: the ability to selectively introduce fluorine into an organic molecule is a very powerful tool when designing syntheses for new pharmaceutical and agrochemical targets.

A selection of fluoro-organic compounds from our catalogue is shown below:

Other targets can be synthesised using the techniques shown in fluorination technology.
