Asymmetric Construction of Stereogenic Carbon Centers Featuring a Trifluoromethyl Group from Prochiral Trifluoromethylated Substrates.

The article talks about enantiopure trifluoromethylated molecules. Fluorine has been one of the elements that played a critical role in the pharmaceutical and material sciences. The addition of one or two flourine atoms has been a familiar technique in every new drug discovery and one of the leading fluorine compounds that has been recently discovered is the enantiopure trifluoromethylated molecule which is often included in biologically active compounds, chiral reagents, and in materials for optoelectronic devices.
