Fluorine–containing Amino Acids: Synthesis and Properties

In recent years, organo–fluorine chemistry has made a marked impact on the design and synthesis of a large variety of biologically active molecules, such as steroids, carbohydrates, amines, amino acids, peptides and other natural products. Naturally occurring amino acids play a pivotal role in living systems, and therefore synthetic fluorine–containing amino acids have been of significant interest to researchers working towards the understanding and modification of physiological processes. Fluorine–containing Amino Acids:is the first volume devoted to the synthesis and properties of fluorine–containing amino acidspays special attention to the preparation of enantiomerically pure acids (which are essential to the modern pharmaceutical industry)deals with a rapidly expanding field of researchhas been written by experienced researchers who are responsible for many developments in the fieldhighlights the interdisciplinary nature of this topicFluorine–containing Amino Acids is the only dedicated reference in this subject and will be essential for researchers in synthetic organic, peptide, natural product, and medicinal chemistry and biochemistry.
