title: Trifluoromethyl nitrogen heterocycles: synthetic aspects and potential biological targets.
abstract: Recent advances regarding the synthetic chemistry of fluorinated aziridines, azetidines, pyrrolidines and their lactam/amino acid counterparts are presented. These heterocycles are of high importance both as building blocks for more complex structures and as active parts of medicinal chemistry-oriented compounds.
