RESUMEN
A novel strategy for the synthesis of sulfides and selenides from phosphonium salts and thio- or selenesulfonates, commercially available compounds, is described. When phosphoranes were used in the reaction, different products were obtained. The methodology does not require the use of metals, reactive species, or anhydrous conditions to be performed.
RESUMEN
The propargylation of aldehydes promoted by microwave irradiation using allenylboron compounds in a chemo- and regioselective way is described. The corresponding products were obtained in short reaction time, high yield and purity without the need of any solvent when allenylboronic acid pinacol ester was used, or using a minimal amount of acetone when potassium allenyltrifluoroborate was used.
RESUMEN
An efficient approach for the synthesis of Z-1,3-enynes based on the coupling reaction of Z-vinyl tellurides and alkynes containing a pseudoglycoside moiety is described. The products were obtained in good yields via a stereoselective way. Preliminary screening against three tumor cell lines indicated that the synthesized compounds are promising intermediates for the synthesis of an array of more potent target structures.

The use of ultrasound irradiation to promote the allylation of aldehydes containing different functionalities with potassium allyltrifluoroborates is described. The method features the use of a minimum amount of acetone as solvent, without any other catalyst or promoter. The products were obtained in high yields, short reaction times, at room temperature and without the need of further purification.
RESUMEN
(-)-Massoialactone, an α,ß-unsaturated δ-lactone isolated from Cryptocarya massoia, and five analogues were synthesized and their antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated. The lactones were able to mimic the "core" functional group required for the biological activity of their parent natural compounds suggesting that substantially altered analogues may retain their properties.

An efficient method for the allylation of aldehydes containing a broad range of functional groups using potassium allyltrifluoroborate is described. The reaction utilizes a catalytic amount of 18-C-6 in biphasic media under open atmosphere and room temperature to provide the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in high yields and without the necessity of any subsequent purification.

Complete (1) H, (13) C, and (125) Te NMR spectral data for some vinyl tellurides are described. The (1) H-(125) Te gHMBC experiment was used for the complete chemical shift assignment and structure elucidation of a mixture of regioisomers. The assignment ((125) Te NMR) and coupling constants (J(H,H) ) for all regioisomers are described for the first time.
RESUMEN
Complete (1)H, (13)C, (19)F and (11)B NMR spectral data for 28 potassium organotrifluoroborates are described. The resonance for the carbon bearing the boron atom is described for most of the studied compounds. A modified (11)B NMR pulse sequence was used and better resolution was observed allowing the observation of (11)B-(19)F coupling constants for some of the studied compounds.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate pharmacological and toxicological properties of potassium thiophene-3-trifluoroborate (RBF(3)K). The acute effect of RBF(3)K was evaluated on mice. To this end, mice received a single dose of RBF(3)K (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, by oral route, p.o.) and after 72 hrs, blood, liver, and kidney samples were collected. delta-Aminolevulinate dehydratase, catalase and glutathione-S-transferase activities, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and vitamin C levels, as well as plasma aspartate and alanine aminotransferase activities and creatinine levels were determined. Hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation levels in treated mice did not differ from those in control mice. No significant differences between treated and control mice were detected in hepatic and renal delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase activity. Aspartate and alanine aminotransferase activities as well as urea and creatinine levels were similar among the groups. In contrast, results obtained from in vivo experiments revealed that RBF(3)K, orally administered, reduced peritoneovisceral pain induced by acetic acid administered i.p. Doses of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg of RBF(3)K were assessed in the antinociceptive investigation and the effect was significantly different than control groups from 5 mg/kg. It was observed that alpha(2-)adrenergic and serotonergic, but not opioidergic, receptors appear to be involved in orally administered RBF(3)K. Mice treated with RBF(3)K did not reveal any motor impairment in the open field. This is a promising compound for more detailed pharmacological studies involving organotrifluoroborate compounds.
