"In this second, completely revised and enlarged edition, Richard Chambers, a leading expert in the field, brings together everything of importance to fluorine in organic synthesis. With almost 2000 references, this long-awaited revised edition is an indipensible source of high-quality information for everyone working in the filed of fluorine chemistry. More generally, this comprehensive handbook will also prove of great value to all those working in organic chemistry"Chemistry World"[This] monograph makes an excellent contribution to the diverse and rich field. [Fluorine in Organic Chemistry] is skillfully crafted to cover various synthetic and mechanistic facets by one of the doyens of the organofluorine chemistry." Richard D. Chambers"Extensive tables and figures are quite informative and well referenced to the original literature. The author is to be commended for succinctly covering a diverse and interdisciplinary field in a systematic approach."G. K. Surya PrakashLoker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California "[An] essential addition to the library of anyone involved in the field but also to any university library as a standard reference."Physical Science Education Reviews
