Synthesis and Properties of Fluoropyrroles and Their Analogues

Abstract

Pyrroles and indoles are important subunits of many natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. Fluorinated compounds possess a unique complex of physical, chemical, and biological properties that results in their wide application as construction materials, liquid crystalline materials, agrochemicals, and drugs. The review covers the synthesis and properties of fluoropyrroles and their benzo analogues. The literature up to 2011 is highlighted.
