Synthesis of SCF3-Substituted Sulfonium Ylides from Sulfonium Salts or α-Bromoacetic Esters

A metal-free direct trifluoromethylthiolation of sulfonium ylides with an electrophilic trifluoromethylthiolating reagent has been established, in which sulfonium salt or α-bromoacetic ester is employed as sulfonium ylide precursors. This trifluoromethylthiolation enables the straightforward construction of SCF3-substituted sulfonium ylides from a wide range of substrates, including ketones, esters, and even PEGylated substrates. Moreover, the application of this approach in large-scale preparation and the fluorescence and fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging capabilities of the product are also explored.

Biodegradable, non-bactericidal oxygen-functionalised imidazolium esters: A step towards 'greener' ionic liquids

A series of imidazolium ionic liquids was prepared and screened against 7 bacterial strains. The incorporation of ether groups into the ester side-chain significantly reduced the toxicity compared with alkyl ester derivatives. Biodegradation data are also presented for 15 of the ionic liquids - including 6 examples which can be classed as readily biodegradable.
