The presence of trifluoromethoxy group in heterocyclic compounds can enhance specific pharmacological properties of the molecules. We have developed several efficient methods of synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds bearing trifluoromethoxy group from commercially available 4-trifluoromethoxyaniline: 1-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)pyrroles,5-trifluoromethoxyindoles, 5(6)-trifluoromethoxybenzimidazoles,3-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)imidazoles, 5-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 4-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazoles and 1-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-5Н-tetrazoles. Some of these compounds demonstrated anti-cancer activity and could be considered for prostate cancer chemotherapy. This research was supported by the Global IPP program through the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU).
