Abstract

The synthesis of SCF3 as well as SeCF3 isosteres of two OCF3–containing drugs was achieved through visible light and copper-catalyzed processes. Herein, we show that chalcogen replacement modulates physico-chemical and ADME properties without introducing intrinsic liabilities. The S- and SeCF3 groups are more lipophilic as their O-parent; however, microsomal stability is unchanged, indicating that these molecular changes may be beneficial for in vivo half-life. Enabled by modern synthetic methods, we present the chalcogen-CF3 groups as potential key players for future fluorinated pharmaceuticals.
