Author Description

Product Description This volume reviews the recent advances in formation of C-F bonds and X-F bonds (X = heteroatom) to produce useful fluorinated molecules for pharmaceuticals, materials and more. Reactions and methods associated with fluorination, including monofluorination, difluorination, trifluorination and other polyfluorination that have emerged within the past few years are systematically discussed. With contributions from front-line researchers in this field from both academia and industry, this book provides a valuable resource for scholars, graduate students as well as professionals.

About the Author Jinbo Hu was born in Zhejiang, China in 1973. After he completed his B.S. (Hangzhou University) and M.S. (Chinese Academy of Sciences) degrees, he did his Ph.D. work during 1997 to 2002 at the University of Southern California with Professors G. K. S. Prakash and G. A. Olah. After his postdoctoral work at USC, he joined the faculty at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIOC, CAS) in early 2005, where he is currently the Deputy Director of SIOC and the Head of the CAS Key Laboratory of Organofluorine Chemistry. He was the recipient of RSC Fluorine Prize 2009, Tan Kah-Kee Young Scientists’ Award 2012, Novartis Lectureship 2015, and IOCF Lectureship 2019. His current research interests include synthetic fluorine chemistry and fluorinated materials. Teruo Umemoto was born in 1949 in Japan. He learned chemistry in Okayama University and then,
