Article Abstract
Molecules containing trifluoromethoxyaryl groups are of interest in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research, due to their unique physical and electronic properties. Many of the known methods to synthesize aryl trifluoromethyl ethers require harsh reagents and highly controlled reaction conditions and rarely occur when heteroaromatic units are present. The two-step -trifluoromethylation of phenols via aryl xanthates is one such method that suffers from these drawbacks. Herein, we report a method for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ethers from phenols by the facile conversion of the phenol to the corresponding aryl and heteroaryl xanthates with newly synthesized imidazolium methylthiocarbonothioyl salts and conversion of these xanthates to the trifluoromethyl ethers under mild reaction conditions.

Cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers to access poly(vinyl ether) polymeric materials has been challenging due to stringent polymerization conditions and inevitable chain transfer. Herein we introduce a protocol using trifluoromethyl sulfonates to catalyze the polymerization of a series of vinyl ethers. These trifluoromethyl sulfonates are fully commercially available and can be stored under ambient conditions.

In this report, we disclose the design and synthesis of a series of 2-trifluoromethyl-2H- chromene ethers as novel COX-2 inhibitors with low ulcerogenicity. Among them, 6-fluoro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)ethoxy)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene (E25) significantly suppressed LPS-induced release of NO and PGE, expression of COX-2 and iNOS, and activation of NF-κB pathway. The inhibitory effect of E25 on human recombinant COX-2 (IC = 70.

We report, for the first time, a visible-light-promoted Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with 1,2-diketones. This transformation proceeded smoothly in the presence of a tertiary amine (EtN), providing a series of enol ethers containing the trifluoromethylated tetrasubstituted center in moderate to excellent yields. In this protocol, hydrogen atom transfer between this amine and 1,2-diketone substrate affords a ketyl radical and an α-aminoalkyl radical, which engages in the formation of a radical anion of the α-CF alkene via a single electron transfer.

Novel 6-substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 5a-5e and coumarin 6a-6d ligands with aldoxime ether linked pyridine moiety were synthesized by O-alkylation of quinoline and coumarin with (E)-picolinaldehyde oxime and subsequently with [Re(CO)Cl] gave rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes 5a-5e and 6a-6d that were fully characterized by NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results of antiproliferative evaluation of quinoline and coumarin ligands and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes on various human tumor cell lines, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM), acute monocytic leukemia (THP1), cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), colon adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2), T-cell lymphoma (HuT78), and non-tumor human fibroblasts (BJ) showed that the quinoline complexes 5a-5e had higher inhibitory activity than coumarin complexes 6a-6d, particularly against T-cell lymphoma (HuT78) cells. 6-Methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 5e and 6-methylcoumarin 6d, and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes 5e and 6d were found to arrest the cell cycle of HuT78 cells by causing a significant accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase and a marked decrease in the number of cells in the G2/M phase.

Cryogels containing isocyanate reactive groups were synthesized via photopolymerization of 2-isocyanoethyl methacrylate (ICEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA). By changing the PEGMEMA and ICEMA ratios, cryogel series with varying ratios of reactive isocyanate groups were successfully prepared. The cryogels were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope, and rheometry.
