Preparation of Fluorine Containing Isophthalic and Terephthalic Acids

Synthesis of Indole-Derived Fluorine-Containing Amino Acids

A Brønsted acid promoted direct aminoalkylation of various indoles with trifluoromethyl oxazolidine is described. A catalytic amount of triflic acid provided straightforward access to the corresponding trifluoromethyled amino esters under mild reaction conditions and a short reaction time of 4 h. On further hydrogenolysis and hydrolysis of ester, the synthesis of indole derived unnatural triflu...

Fluorine containing amino acids: synthesis and peptide coupling of amino acids containing the all-cis tetrafluorocyclohexyl motif.

A synthesis of two (S)-phenylalanine derivatives is described which have the all-cis, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorocyclohexyl motif attached to the aromatic ring at the meta and para positions; the para substituted isomer is elaborated into illustrative dipeptides via the free amine and carboxylate respectively demonstrating its utility as a novel amino acid for peptide synthesis and offering a vehicle f...

Introduction of fluorine and fluorine-containing functional groups.

Over the past decade, the most significant, conceptual advances in the field of fluorination were enabled most prominently by organo- and transition-metal catalysis. The most challenging transformation remains the formation of the parent C-F bond, primarily as a consequence of the high hydration energy of fluoride, strong metal-fluorine bonds, and highly polarized bonds to fluorine. Most fluori...

A NEW GENERATION OF OXYNITRIDE GLASSES CONTAINING FLUORINE

Oxynitride glasses are found as grain boundary phases in silicon nitride ceramics. They are effectively alumino-silicate glasses in which nitrogen substitutes for oxygen in the glass network, and this causes increases in glass transition and softening temperatures, viscosities (by two to three orders of magnitude), elastic moduli and microhardness. Calcium silicate-based glasses containing fluo...
