The development of peptide-based oxidation catalysts that use a transiently generated dioxirane as the chemically active species is reported. The active catalyst is a chiral trifluoromethyl ketone (Tfk) with a pendant carboxylic acid that can be readily incorporated into a peptide. These peptides were capable of epoxidizing alkenes in high yield (up to 89%) and enantiomeric ratios (er) ranging from 69.0:31.0 to 91.0:9.0, depending on the alkene substitution pattern.

Background: Tumor cells can drive the senescence of effector T cells by unbalancing their lipid metabolism, thereby limiting adoptive T cell therapy and contributing to tumor immune evasion. Our objective is to provide a feasible strategy for enhancing T cell treatment efficacy against solid tumors.
Methods: In this study, liposomal arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATK) was anchored onto the adoptive T cell surface via bioorthogonal reactions, aiming to specifically inhibit the group IVA cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), a key enzyme facilitating phospholipid metabolism and senescent state of T cells.

A novel and efficient 1,2-oxidative trifluoromethylation of olefins employing Ag(OCCFSOF) as a trifluoromethyl source is described with O as the oxidant, which provides access to a variety of valuable α-trifluoromethyl-substituted ketones. The broad substrate scope, feasibility of large-scale operation, and derivatization reactions of α-trifluoromethyl ketones demonstrate the promising utility of this protocol.

Herein, we report the rhodium-catalyzed -alkenyl transfer from tertiary allylic alcohols to aryl trifluoromethyl ketones, which provided an efficient way of preparation of trifluoromethyl-containing -allylic alcohols via β--alkenyl elimination. The key -alkenyl-rhodium species were generated with a high degree of stereochemical retention. This reaction featured a broad substrate scope and good functional tolerance and would offer a fascinating approach for the synthesis of -alkenes.

We report an efficient synthetic route to the metal-free hydroboration and cyanosilylation of a wide range of alkynyl trifluoromethyl ketones using pinacolborane (4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane) and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature. These highly effective hydroboration and cyanosilylation reactions lead to the corresponding alkynyl trifluoromethyl propargyl alcohols after hydrolysis. In addition, trifluoromethyl (CF) group-based pharmaceutically active enflicoxib analogs were synthesized from propargyl alcohol.

The present article describes the successful performance of crossed aldol reactions of the CF-containing pseudo-C symmetric cyclic imide with various aldehydes. The utilization of HMPA as an additive attained the preferential formation of the -products in good to excellent yields, which contrasts with our previous method without this additive, proceeding to furnish the corresponding -isomers. The effective participation of ketones and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in reactions with this imide was also demonstrated to expand the application of this imide.
