Ionic reactions of terminal alkenes with chlorine (Cl(2)), bromine (Br(2)), and iodine monochloride (ICl) are sensitive to the alkyl substituents, and the positions and number of vinyl fluorine atoms. These perturbations influence the symmetry of the halonium ion intermediates, which can be determined by the distribution of the Markovnikov to anti-Markovnikov products. A vinyl fluorine on the number-2 carbon favors an unsymmetrical intermediate with greater charge on the number-2 carbon unless the alkyl group is electron withdrawing. A vinyl fluorine on the terminal number-1 carbon favors positive charge development on that carbon unless a resonance stabilizing group is on the number-2 carbon. The symmetry of halonium ions with vinyl fluorines on both carbons-1 and -2 depends primarily on the characteristics of the alkyl substituent. Intermediates range from open-ions with the positive charge on carbon-2, to various bridged species, to open-ions on the terminal carbon.

Thevinols and their 3-O-demethylated relatives, orvinols, are derivatives of the Diels-Alder adduct of natural alkaloid thebaine with methyl vinyl ketone. Taken together, thevinols and orvinols constitute an important family of opioid receptor (OR) ligands playing an important role in both the OR mediated antinociception and OR antagonism. Herein, we disclose for the first time the antagonist activity of the N-allyl substituted orvinol derivative fluorinated within the pharmacophore associated with C(20) and its surrounding.

Sulfenyl fluorides are organic compounds of sulfur in formal oxidation state +2 with the formula R-S-F. Although the chloride, bromide, and iodide analogues have been extensively described in the literature, arenesulfenyl fluorides remain essentially unstudied. These structures have been implicated as putative intermediates in established processes to access polyfluorinated sulfur species; however, definitive and direct evidence of their existence has not been obtained, nor has a systematic understanding of their reactivity.

The integration of fluorine into medicinal compounds has become a widely used strategy to improve the biochemical and therapeutic properties of drugs. Inclusion of -CFH and -OCF fluoroalkyl groups has garnered attention due to their bioisosteric properties, enhanced lipophilicity, and potential hydrogen-bonding capability in bioactive substances. In this study, we prepared a series of stable Cu[CF(OCF)(CFH)]L complexes by insertion of commercially available perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether), CF=CF(OCF), into Cu-H bonds derived from Stryker's reagent, [CuH(PPh)], using ancillary ligands L.

Article Synopsis
- - Biofluid-contacting devices often experience biofouling, leading to issues like thrombus formation and bacterial biofilm buildup, which negatively affect device performance and health safety.
- - Traditional antifouling solutions like hydrophilic polymers and heparin coatings are usually unstable, while lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) offer better long-term effectiveness but are complicated to produce and limited in application.
- - This study presents a new approach for creating flexible lubricant-infused poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes that exhibit excellent antifouling properties and improved mechanical flexibility, potentially enhancing the performance of medical devices and implants by reducing blood clots and bacterial adhesion.
