An efficient protocol to synthesize aryl selenoethers through deborylative selenylation of widely available arylboronicacids has been established underelectrochemicalconditions in the absence of metal catalyst and external oxidant. The synthesis of bioactive molecules and gram-scale transformation have been performed to highlight the synthetic utility of the protocol. CV (cyclic voltammetry) experiment

We have devised a procedure for the synthesis of analogs of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) containing sulfur and selenium atoms as spacer groups between the aromatic rings. CA-4 is well known for its potent activity as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, and its prodrugs combretastatin A-4 phosphate (CA-4P) and combretastatin A-1 phosphate (CA-1P) are being investigated as antitumor agents that cause tumor vascular collapse in addition to their activity as cytotoxic compounds. Here we report the preparation of two sulfur analogs and one selenium analog of CA-4. All synthesized compounds, as well as several synthetic intermediates, were evaluated for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and for cytotoxic activity in human cancer cells. Compounds 3 and 4 were active at nM concentration against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. As inhibitors of tubulin polymerization, both 3 and 4 were more active than CA-4 itself. In addition, 4 was the most active of these agents against 786, HT-29 and PC-3 cancer cells. Molecular modeling binding studies are also reported for compounds 1, 3, 4 and CA-4 to tubulin within the colchicine site. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A powerful and environmentally friendly electrochemical manganese-promoted free radical selenylation reactionbetween boronic acids and diselenide reagents was established. This electrochemical protocol provides a practically applicable way to a series of valuable organoseleniumcompounds with the use of easy available materials. Mechanistic experiments implied that the seleno-radical formed via direct
