These latter two compounds 23 and 24 showed high selectivity for the parasite, with low or no cytotoxicity. The authors went

However, the synthetic methodology for the preparation of the corresponding fluoropyrazole derivatives has not been developed to any great extent despite the potential use of such systems in life science applications. Recently, we explored direct fluorination of various
