In view of increasing interest in organofluorine compounds, this book was undertaken to describe biological and physical properties of organofluorine compounds, synthetic methods of these, their roles in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and material sciences. In particular, the book will emphasize on the usefulness of fluorination reaction, availability of fluorination agents, so that even graduate students who are unfamiliar to this field can understand and participate in this fascinating heteroatom chemistry.

Hisashi Yamamoto, born 1943, began his research in Hitosi Nozaki's laboratory at the Kyoto University, Japan. After obtaining his PhD under Elias J. Corey, he joined Toray Industries, Inc., Japan. He has been Professor at the University of Chicago since 2002. Hisashi Yamamoto's work has been widely acknowledged and honored with several academic awards and titles (e.g. Max-Tishler Prize, 1998, Le Grand Prix de la Fondation Maison de la Chimie, 2001, Tetrahedron Chair, 2002). He is on the editorial boards of several outstanding publications including the European Journal of Organic Chemistry and Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis
