description

The cover picture shows a waterfall located in the Eastern Carpathians in Transylvania, near Bicaz Canyon. Although fluorinated organic compounds are nonexistent in nature, an increasing number of drugs (25 %) on the market contain at least one fluorine atom. Cyclic fluorinated β-amino acid derivatives have been synthesized by selective hydroxylation and hydroxy?fluorine exchange. Details are discussed in the article by F. Fulop et al. on p. 4993 ff.
