A series of heterobimetallic PdII/MII complexes (MII = Mn, Co) were synthesised and tested as precatalysts for sequential Sonogashira coupling–alkyne semi-hydrogenation reactions to form Z-aryl alkenes. The carbometalated heterobimetallic PdII/CoII complex CoPdL3′ demonstrated an apparent cooperative effect compared to the corresponding monometallic counterparts. This compound was identified as a potent single-molecule catalyst for the one-pot Cu-free Sonogashira coupling of aryl bromides with terminal alkynes followed by chemo- and stereoselective semi-hydrogenation of the alkyne intermediate using NH3·BH3 as a hydrogen source. Furthermore, different aromatic substrates have been tested to show the generality of the reaction for the synthesis of Z-alkenes, including biologically active combretastatin A-4. In addition, the homogeneous nature of the catalytically active species was demonstrated.

A series of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) sulfamate derivatives were synthesized and their structure-activity relationship on tubulin, arylsulfatase and tumor cell antiproliferation inhibition was studied. Among them, compound 16a showed excellent potency as well as CA-4 under the same conditions against six tumor cells including HTC-116, HeLa, HepG2, MGC803, MKN45 and MCF-7 cells, respectively. Molecular docking revealed that several important hydrogen bond interactions were formed between the sulfamate group of 16a and the colchicine binding site of tubulin and steroid sulfatase respectively. Although compound 16a was less active than CA-4 in regard to its in vitro activity as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, it was effective as an inhibitor of arylsulfatase. This novel combretastatin A-4 sulfamate derivative has the potential to be developed as a dual inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and arylsulfatase for cancer therapy.

The mechanism of acetylene bromoboration in neat boron tribromide was studied carefully by means of experiment and theory. Besides the syn-addition mechanism through a four-center transition state, radical and polar anti-addition mechanisms are postulated, both triggered by HBr, which is evidenced also to take part in the Z/E isomerization of the product. The proposed mechanism is well supported by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31+G? level with Ahlrichs' SVP all-electron basis for Br. Implicit solvation in CH2Cl2 has been included using the PCM and/or SMD continuum solvent models. Comparative case studies have been performed involving the B3LYP/6-31+G? with Ahlrichs' SVP for Br and MP2/Def2TZVPP levels. The mechanistic studies resulted in development of a procedure for stereoselective bromoboration of acetylene yielding E/Z mixtures of dibromo(bromovinyl)borane with the Z-isomer as a major product (up to 85%). Transformation to the corresponding pinacol and neopentyl glycol boronates and stereoselective decomposition of their E-isomer provided pure (Z)-(2-bromovinyl)boronates in 57-60% overall yield. Their reactivity in a Negishi cross-coupling reaction was tested. An example of the one-pot reaction sequence of Negishi and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings for synthesis of combretastatin A4 is also presented.
