All four stereoisomers of 4-CFO-proline have been synthesized through a fluorodesulfurization approach using the corresponding 4-hydroxyprolines as starting materials. The investigation of their lipophilicity characteristics and comparison with those of other 4-substituted proline analogs demonstrated a similar impact of CF and CFO groups on log .

- - The COVID Moonshot was a collaborative, open-science effort focused on finding a new drug to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, which is crucial for the virus's survival.
- - Researchers developed a novel noncovalent, nonpeptidic inhibitor that stands out from existing drugs targeting the same protease, employing advanced techniques like machine learning and high-throughput structural biology.
- - Over 18,000 compound designs, 490 ligand-bound x-ray structures, and extensive assay data were generated and shared openly, creating a comprehensive and accessible knowledge base for future drug discovery efforts against coronaviruses.
2-Amino-2-(trifluoromethoxy)butanoic acid (O-trifluoromethyl homoserine) was synthesized as a racemate and in both enantiomeric forms. The measured pK and log D values establish the compound as a promising analogue of natural aliphatic amino acids.
