Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Elemental fluorine is already manufactured on a large scale and, in future it is probable that it will be recovered from 'spent' uranium hexafluoride by industry. We will explore methodology for fluorinating carbanions, especially using flow reactors developed in Durham, and we anticipate that this methodology will be applicable to chiral delivery of fluorine, either from chiral carbanions or via novel and recoverable chiral fluorinating agents. Synthesis of N-F compounds that are soluble in flurous-biphase systems will lead to processes that are selective and applicable for recycling.
