Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry of Fluorine

摘要

Henri Moissan isolated elemental fluo- rine in 1886, a long-sought achievement, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906, shortly before his death. This book by Jean-Pierre Begue and Daniele Bonnet-Delpon, both at the Centre National de la Recherche Scien-tifique (CNRS), who with their coworkers have developed the application of fluorine compounds from organic synthesis to medicinal chemistry, appears shortly after the centenary of Moissan's death.
