Fluoroamino compounds

Violence of the reaction, sometimes explosive, with e.g., acetic acid, benzene, ether, is associated with both their carbon and hydrogen contents. If nitrogen is also present, explosive fluoroamino compounds may be involved. Fibrous mate-rials-cotton, paper, wood-invariably ignite. 

This chapter deals with fluorinated analogues and derivatives of natural products. We report on examples of fluoro analogues taken from the main families of natural compounds. This chapter is not exhaustive, and mainly focuses on biological applications and medicinal chemistry. Fluoropeptides, fluoroamino acids, and fluor-ocarbohydrates are the topics of Chapters 5 and 6, respectively.
