Enantioselective trichloromethylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH)-type allylic fluorides with chloroform (HCCl3 ) under organocatalysis was achieved with high to excellent enantioselectivities. Silicon-assisted CF bond activation by a Ruppert-Prakash reagent and direct activation of HCCl3 by a carbanion exchange process with trifluoromethyl (CF3 ) carbanion generated in situ from the Ruppert-Prakash reagent realized the direct asymmetric trichloromethylation at a stereogenic allylic positon, without any help from transition metal catalysis, and under very mild conditions. Pre-activation of HCCl3 was not required. This method was extended to the direct enantioselective introduction of other C-H compounds such as alkyne, arene, indene, and FBSM without any pre-activation under a metal-free system.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a method for site-selective C-H trifluoromethylation using arylthianthrenium salts and generated CuCF from Ruppert-Prakash reagent under visible light.
- The reaction was notably sped up with a small amount of -BINAP, completing in just 15 minutes under mild conditions.
- This approach demonstrated high efficiency, broad substrate compatibility, and excellent regioselectivity, which could enhance the discovery of fluorinated medicinal compounds.

Trifluoromethyl arenes (Ar-CF) are amongst the commonly encountered fluorinated substructures in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material sciences. However, predominant methods to access Ar-CF possess several limitations, including harsh conditions, lack of availability of substrates, and poor regioselectivity, which combined restrict access to desirable highly functionalized Ar-CF-containing compounds. To expand the scope of accessible Ar-CF-based molecules, we present an orthogonal deoxyfluoroalkylation/aromatization approach that exploits readily accessible and programable cyclohexan(en)one substrates, which undergo a reliable 1,2-addition reaction with the Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF) followed by aromatization to deliver highly functionalized Ar-CF compounds in a one/two-pot sequence.

-Tetrahexylporphyrin was converted to its corresponding 7,8-dihydroxychlorin using an osmium tetroxide-mediated dihydroxylation strategy. Its diol moiety was shown to be able to undergo a number of subsequent oxidation reactions to form a chlorin dione and porpholactone, the first -alkylporphyrin-based porphyrinoid containing a non-pyrrolic building block. Further, the diol chlorin was shown to be susceptible to dehydration, forming the porphyrin enol that is in equilibrium with its keto-chlorin form.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is becoming increasingly important in nuclear medicine and drug discovery. To date, the development of many potential PET tracers is hampered by the lack of suitable synthetic pathways for their preparation. This is particularly true for the highly desired radiolabeling of compounds bearing [F]CF-groups.

Two hypervalent trifluoromethyl organobismuth complexes were prepared from commercially available chiral amines, (R)-1-cyclohexylethylamine and (1R, 2R, 3R, 5S)-(-)-isopinocampheylamine; however, only the complex from the latter amine was prepared as a single stereoisomer. Both organobismuth complexes were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing that the structures were similar to previously reported complexes with a hypervalent Bi-N bond. The complexes were catalytically active in olefin difluorocarbenation with Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMS-CF ) used as a terminal source of CF .
