Encode Information to your Molecules with Fluorous Tags

Fluorous tags, like the amine protecting group F17 Boc-ON, provide a lot of functions.  They can be attached and removed just like non-fluorous tags and similarly protect functional groups.  While attached to your molecule, the fluorous tag also allows for … Continue reading

Fluorous Mixture Sunthesis in Total Synthesis

University of Pittsburgh professor and FTI founder, Dr. Dennis Curran, has extensively used fluorous mixture synthesis (FMS) in natural products chemistry.  In their quasiracemic approach, enantiomerically pure starting materials are labeled with a fluorous tag of specific length.  For example, … Continue reading

Fluorous Mixture Synthesis of Dendrimers

In June of last year, the Yu group from the University of Maryland published a report in Angewandte Chemie describing the synthesis of a fluorous dendrimer as a 19F MRI imaging agent.  The molecule, dubbed FIT, is pictured below and … Continue reading

Fluorous HPLC Separation of Fluorinated Compounds

Prof. Bruce Yu and Nu Xiao at the University of Maryland have just published a paper comparing reverse phase HPLC and fluorous phase high performance liquid chromatography (F-HPLC) for the separation of fluorinated compounds.  Note that we do not say … Continue reading

FIT for MRI

As just about everyone knows, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very important diagnostic technique in medicine.  1H MRI, or NMR as we chemists know it, is the technique used clinically and is a noninvasive technique which provides in vivo … Continue reading
