PFAS-free synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds

PFAS-free synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds

Chemists at the University of Amsterdam have developed a method to furnish a range of molecules with a trifluoromethyl group attached to a sulphur, nitrogen or oxygen atom. Their procedure, which has just been published in Science, avoids the use of PFAS reagents. It thus provides an environmentally friendly synthesis route for pharmaceutical and agrochemical … Read more
