Course Overview

Topics of the course are: Synthesis of organofluorine compounds, reactivity of organofluorine components, fluorine substituents. In addition to textbook knowledge, current publications in the field will repeatedly be included in the lecture.

Learning Achievement

Students will acquire a broad overview of organofluorine chemistry. After completion of the course, students will know all fundamental approches toward the synthesis of organofluorine compounds and will be able to independently devise synthetic routes and solve corresponding problems. Students will also be able to interpret the sometimes unusual reactivity of organofluorine components and to analyze the influence of fluorine substituents in organic molecules.
