Abstract
Biological molecules incorporating trifluoromethyl ketones (TFMKs) have emerged as reversible covalent inhibitors, aiding in the management and treatment of inflammatory diseases, cancer, and respiratory conditions. TFMKs, renowned for their versatile binding properties and adaptability, are pivotal in the rational design of novel drugs for diverse diseases. The photocatalytic insertion of alkenes, abundant feedstocks, into the α-carbon of trifluoromethylacetone represents a highly effective and atom-economical method for synthesizing valuable TFMKs. However, these processes typically necessitate high-energy photoirradiation (λ > 300 nm, Hg lamp) and stoichiometric oxidants to generate the acetonyl radical from acetone. In our study, we demonstrate the visible-light photocatalytic radical addition into olefins using bromotrifluoroacetone as the trifluoroacetonyl radical precursor under mild conditions. Aliphatic trifluoromethyl ketones or the corresponding bromo-substituted products can be obtained by selecting an appropriate photocatalyst and solvent. Comprehensive experimental investigations, including cyclic voltammetry, Stern-Volmer quenching studies, and kinetic isotope effects, corroborate the synthesis of trifluoroacetonyl radical species from bromotrifluoroacetone under photoredox conditions. Further, we demonstrate the efficient synthesis of an oseltamivir derivative bearing a trifluoromethylketone moiety, which shows promising biological activity. Hence, this methodology will streamline the direct introduction of trifluoromethyl ketone into biological target molecules during drug discovery.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:13831-13839.

Abstract
A series of silica-supported catalysts containing molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium oxides as the active phase was investigated in the process of oxidative desulfurization with sodium hypochlorite. It was shown for the first time that catalysts containing vanadium oxide as the active phase are more stable under oxidation conditions with sodium hypochlorite and retain their effectiveness at increased dosages of the oxidant and at high initial sulfur contents. The catalysts were characterized in detail by a complex of methods: Fourier transform infrared, X-ray spectral fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption. Key factors affecting the oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) were investigated: oxidant and catalyst amount, oxidation time, initial sulfur content, and acetonitrile amount. Under optimized conditions, the DBT conversion rate was 100% in 5 min at room temperature (25 °C), NaClO/S molar ratio 6:1, catalyst amount 2 wt %. In the real sample of the straight-run diesel fraction, the sulfur content was reduced from 10,100 to 3030 ppm. The V(10%)/SiO2 catalyst retains its activity for 5 oxidation-regeneration cycles.

Abstract
Aliphatic trifluoromethyl ketones are a type of unique fluorine-containing subunit which play a significant role in altering the physical and biological properties of molecules. Catalytic methods to provide direct access to aliphatic trifluoromethyl ketones are highly desirable yet remain underdeveloped, partially owing to the high reactivity and instability of trifluoroacetyl radical. Herein, we report a photocatalytic synthesis of trifluoromethyl ketones from alkyl bromides with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The reaction features dual visible-light and halogen-atom-transfer catalysis, followed by an enabling radical-radical cross-coupling of an alkyl radical with a stabilized trifluoromethyl radical. The reaction provides straightforward access to aliphatic trifluoromethyl ketones from readily available and cost-effective alkyl halides and trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA).
