Zusammenfassung: | Emerging as a powerful tool for lead optimization in pharmaceutical research and development, to develop the facile, general protocols that allows the incorporation of fluorine-containing motif in drug candidates has accumulated enormous research interest in recent years. Among these important motifs, the incorporation of strategic motif CF
