Article Abstract
The development of efficient methods for the metathesis and phosphorylation reactions of disulfide compounds is of widespread interest due to their important synthetic utility in polymer, biological, medicinal and agricultural chemistry. Herein, we demonstrate the use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as versatile organocatalysts to promote these challenging reactions under mild conditions. This metal- and oxidant-free protocol is operationally simple with very short reaction times. The interplay between the nucleophilicity and basicity of NHCs in these reactions were also elucidated by NMR studies and high-level ab initio calculations.

Article Synopsis
- Two new inorganic-organic hybrid compounds have been synthesized, identified as [Cmim][Cd(TCDPPA)] and [Cmpy][Cd(TCDPPA)], which incorporate a cadmium ion and complex organic ligands.
- These hybrids are constructed from a bulky organic cation and feature a complex anion formed by three TCDPPA ligands binding to a single cadmium ion.
- They demonstrate significant deep-blue light emission with a high quantum yield of 34.04%, offering a promising approach for creating efficient blue-emitting materials.

Berberine (BBR) exerts specific therapeutic effects on various diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and other inflammation-associated diseases. However, the low oral bioavailability (below 1%) of berberine due to its poor solubility and membrane permeability limits its clinical use. In this paper, we have prepared a 1:1 co-crystal berberine-ibuprofen (BJ) using drug salt metathesis and co-crystal technology.

The discovery of metallic conductivity in polyacetylene [-HC=CH-] upon doping represents a landmark achievement. However, the insolubility of polyacetylene and a dearth of methods for its chemical modification have limited its widespread use. Here, we employ a ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) protocol to prepare functionalized polyacetylenes (fPAs) bearing: (1) electron-deficient boryl (-BR ) and phosphoryl (-P(O)R ) side chains; (2) electron-donating amino (-NR ) groups, and (3) ring-fused 1,2,3-triazolium units via strain-promoted Click chemistry.

A variety of ene-yne cross metathesis reactions were performed using unsaturated phosphonate and phosphate reagents, affording the corresponding phosphorylated 1,3-diene products in good to excellent yields. These difficult ene-yne metatheses employed a Grubbs catalyst bearing a cyclic amino alkyl carbene ligand. A variety of terminal alkynes of varying substitution underwent the reaction, and different phosphorus-containing alkenes were found to give the conjugated diene products in high yields.

Several tricyclic compounds inspired by the structure of combretastatin A-4 and bearing group 14 elements have been synthesized by homocoupling lithiated aryl fragments followed by ring-closing metathesis. These tricyclic compounds and their diolefin precursors were evaluated for their antiproliferative action on the tumor cell lines HT-29, MCF-7, HeLa and A-549 and on the non-tumor cell line HEK-293. In addition, their effects on the cell cycle were also measured.
