Synthesis and reactivity of trifluorodithioacetates derived from trifluorothioacetamides

A general synthesis of trifluorodithioacetates is described by thiolysis of trifluorothioamidium salts, derived from trifluorothioacetamides. The reactivity of these CF3 bearing C-2 building blocks has been investigated towards nucleophiles and in cycloaddition reactions. Trifluorodithioacetates react with dienes to give thiopyrans and with diazo compounds to give trifluoromethyl vinyl sulphides via thiirane intermediates. With amines, trifluorodithioacetates give rise to trifluorothioacetamides while thiols add by thiophilic attack leading to new trifluoroethane dithioacetal disulphide. Two equivalents of phosphite furnish one equivalent of thiophosphate and one of phosphorylated trifluoroethane

Exploring food insecurity and obesity in Dutch disadvantaged neighborhoods:A cross-sectional mediation analysis

Background: Food insecurity is related to risk of adverse health outcomes such as obesity, but the explanatory factors underlying this association are still unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between food insecurity and obesity, and to explore potential mediation by sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 participants in a deprived urban area in the Netherlands. Data on sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, food insecurity status and diet quality were collected using questionnaires. Diet quality was determined based on current national dietary guidelines. BMI was calculated from self-reported height and weight. Regression analyses were performed to explore the association between food insecurity and BMI status. Mediation analyses were performed to estimate the total-, direct-, and indirect effect and proportion of total effect mediated of the food insecurity-obesity association. Results: The overall prevalence of food insecurity was 26%. Food insecurity was associated with obesity (OR = 2.49, 95%CI = 1.16, 5.33), but not with overweight (OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 0.54, 2.45) in the unadjusted model. The food insecurity-obesity association was partially mediated by living situation (proportion mediated: 15.4%), diet quality (- 18.6%), and smoking status (- 15.8%) after adjustment for other covariates. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest an association between food insecurity and obesity. Living situation, diet quality and smoking status explained part, but not all, of the total association between food insecurity and obesity. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to examine the temporal order of the food insecurity-obesity association and potential mediators in this relationship. In addition, food insecurity and its potential consequences need to be taken into account in obesity prevention programs and policies
