With high lipophicity and metabolic stability, trifluoromethyl alkyl ketones (TFMKs) act as important bioactive molecules, especially enzyme inhibitors. Besides, they are superior intermediates for pharmaceuticals and materials. Due to severe electrophilicity of trifluoromethyl, TFMKs form covalent hemiketal adducts targeting at many hydrolytic enzymes such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2) both in mammal and plant, human leukocyte elastase, oleamide hydrolase, human plasma kallikrein, pig liver esterase. TFMKs are inhibitors of human renin in the regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis. Structure of chymotrypsin-trifluoromethyl ketone inhibitor complexes have been presented by XRD and NMR spectroscopy, this inhibition is depended on pH. TFMKs are also served as outstanding inhibitors of SARS-CoV 3CL protease. Diversity methods have been used in synthesis of TFMKs, involving the reactions of organometallic reagent like Grignard reagent or alkyl lithium with trifluoromethyl acid, acetate, or their salts, ester or amide react with TMSCF3 or Et3GeNa/PhSCF3 to generate nucleophilic trifluoromethylation, treatment of carboxylic acid chlorides with pyridine and trifluoroacetic anhydride, sulfone-mediated synthesis of TFMKs from alkyl and alkenyl bromides, oxidation of trifluoromethyl carbinols, catalytic aerobic oxidative decarboxylation of trifluoromethylhydroxy acids, conversion of trifluoroethyl amines by the treatment of NBS/DBU, conversion ofenolizable carboxylic acids to TFMKs via enediolate trifluoroacetylation/decarboxylation, and ring opening ot alkyl 2-siloxycyclopropanecarboxylates by triethylamine trihydrofluoride. Bioactive TFMKs on enzyme inhibition are summarized and synthesis methods are discussed described. in this paper, trend on both application and preparation are
