We report a mechanochemical approach for the ruthenium catalyzed trifluoromethylation of arylboronic acids and phenols under the synergy of trifluoromethylacetamide and pyrylium tetrafluoroborate (Pyry-BF₄). This is the first ever report on trifluoromethylation using in situ generated N-trifluoromethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as the CF source under ball-milling conditions. The present one-pot transformation enabled direct trifluoromethylation of arylboronic acids and phenols to deliver the respective trifluoromethyl arenes and aryl trifluoromethyl ethers. It has also shown a remarkable compatibility toward aroyltrifluoroborates for the mechanochemical synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ketones. This method offers several advantages, including operational simplicity and broad substrate compatibility. Moreover, the current mechanochemical approach not only proceeds under sustainable conditions but also provides a practical route for the late-stage modifications of related substrates to access the valuable fluorinated compounds.

Lithium-sulfur (Li─S) batteries offer a promising avenue for the next generation of energy-dense batteries. However, it is quite challenging to realize practical Li─S batteries under limited electrolytes and high sulfur loading, which may exacerbate problems of interface deterioration and low sulfur utilization. Herein, the coordination and mediation chemistry of arylboronic acids that enable energy-dense and long-term-cycling Li─S batteries is proposed.

Background: Heart-type fatty acid binding proteins (FABP3) constitute a family of lipid chaperone proteins. They are found in the cytosol and enhance cellular fatty acid solubilisation, transport, and metabolism. FABP3 is highly expressed in the myocardium and is released from myocytes during myocardial damage.

A new trifluoroacetylation reagent was developed by using inexpensive and readily available trifluoroacetic anhydride and -phenyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide for the first time. The reaction of (het)aryl boronic acids with the new trifluoroacetylation reagent, -phenyl--tosyltrifluoroacetamide, proceeded smoothly in the presence of a palladium catalyst to provide trifluoromethyl ketones in satisfactory to excellent yields. Various groups, including the synthetically useful functional groups Cl, TMS, and PhCO, were tolerated well under the current reaction conditions.
