Description
Summary:Halogenated organic compounds are highly sought after in a wide variety of fields, for example synthetic and medicinal chemistry as well as materials science. The supported synthesis of organohalogens has been extensively developed in the field of imaging where rapid purification of radiotracers containing isotopes with short half-lives is of great importance. Electrophilic and nucleophilic halogenation occurs upon cleavage from the support and the desired labeled product is readily separated from contaminants. This review provides a discussion as to how supported synthetic routes have facilitated the preparation of halogenated compounds. 1 Introduction 2 Halogenation of Supported Precursors 2.1 Fluorination 2.2 Chlorination 2.3 Bromination 2.4 Iodination 3 Conclusion © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
