Aimed at the non-specialist, this tutorial will cover practical methods for the selective introduction of fluorine into organic molecules, comparing modern and classical reagents as to their availability, safety and mode of reaction. Specific examples will illustrate the most important methods. The Instructor will be Professor William J. Middleton, from the Department of Chemistry at Ursinus College, a recognized expert in fluorine chemistry with nearly 200 patents and publications. Professor Middleton received the Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry in 1982. There is no charge for the course and advance registration is not required.
