Abstract
There is incessant interest in the transfer of common chemical processes from organic solvents to water, which is vital for the development of bioinspired and green chemical technologies. Diarylethenes feature a rich photochemistry, including both irreversible and reversible reactions that are in demand in organic synthesis, materials chemistry, and photopharmacology. Herein, we introduce the first versatile class of diarylethenes, namely, potassium 2,3-diarylmaleates (DAMs), that show excellent solubility in water. DAMs obtained from highly available precursors feature a full spectrum of photoactivity in water and undergo irreversible reactions (oxidative cyclization or rearrangement) or reversible photocyclization (switching), depending on their structure. This finding paves a way towards wider application of diarylethenes in photopharmacology and bioinspired technologies that require aqueous media for photochemical reactions.

Abstract
Due to the central role of tubulin in various cellular functions, it is a validated target for anti-cancer therapeutics. However, many of the current tubulin inhibitors are derived from complex natural products and suffer from multidrug resistance, low solubility, toxicity issues, and/or the lack of multi-cancer efficacy. As such, there is a continued need for the discovery and development of new anti-tubulin drugs to enter the pipeline. Herein we report on a group of indole-substituted furanones that were prepared and tested for anti-cancer activity. Molecular docking studies showed positive correlations between favorable binding in the colchicine binding site (CBS) of tubulin and anti-proliferative activity, and the most potent compound was found to inhibit tubulin polymerization. These compounds represent a promising new structural motif in the search for small heterocyclic CBS cancer inhibitors.

Abstract
A skeletal photorearrangement involving UV-induced 6π-electrocyclization of diarylethenes with various ethene bridges has been studied. It has been found that deprotonation is the predominant step among the three possible alternative reaction pathways (radical abstraction, deprotonation, or sigmatropic shift) following 6π-electrocyclization, and incorporation of an electronegative carbonyl group into the geminal position to the phenyl residue results in a reduction in the reaction time and an increase in the yield of the desired product. The significant increase in the reaction time in less polar solvents (toluene, TCM) also indicates a large contribution of the deprotonation step to the skeletal photorearrangement of diarylethenes. Performing the reaction in toluene in the presence of tertiary amines leads to a reduction in the reaction time and an increase in the yield of the desired product. The best results were achieved when the reaction was carried out in toluene in the presence of DIPEA. The experimental results are in good agreement with the DFT calculations.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most serious health problems that usually require heavy medical treatment. It is important to ensure that no additional burden is placed on patients due to the modes of administration and/or poor quality of pharmaceuticals. In this regard, understanding, quantifying, and improving the photostability (resistance to UV light or sunlight) of drugs is among the important elements that can improve the patient's quality of life. In this work, the photochemical properties of a wide range of furanone analogues of combretastatin A-4 and their antiproliferative activity against A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells were studied in a search for compounds with improved photostability and antiproliferative activity. It was found that the incorporation of an arylidene moiety led to a significant improvement in photostability, while the antiproliferative activity strongly depends on the nature of the aryl residue in the arylidene moiety. The high photostability of arylidenes was achieved due to the delocalization of the central double bond of the 1,3,5-hexatriene system, which limited the 6π-electrocyclization. The best results in terms of antiproliferative activity were obtained for thiophene arylidene (IC50 = 0.6 μM) and 3,4-diarylfuran (IC50 = 0.047 μM). The obtained results address the lack of data available now in scientific literature on the photodegradation of combretastatin A-4 analogues and should be taken into account in studies of the side effects of pharmaceuticals based on them.

Abstract
Photoswitchable ligands as biological tools provide an opportunity to explore the kinetics and dynamics of the clinically relevant μ-opioid receptor. These ligands can potentially activate or deactivate the receptor when desired by using light. Spatial and temporal control of biological activity allows for application in a diverse range of biological investigations. Photoswitchable ligands have been developed in this work, modelled on the known agonist fentanyl, with the aim of expanding the current "toolbox" of fentanyl photoswitchable ligands. In doing so, ligands have been developed that change geometry (isomerize) upon exposure to light, with varying photophysical and biochemical properties. This variation in properties could be valuable in further studying the functional significance of the μ-opioid receptor.

Abstract
This work describes an acid-promoted cyclization of triaryldivinyl ketones containing a thiophene moiety in the α-position. Two cyclization pathways are accessible: one a 4π-Nazarov cyclization and the other we propose to proceed through a 6π electrocyclic mechanism. The relative proportion of products from these divergent pathways is affected by reaction conditions and steric bulk in the substrate. We present experimental and computational evidence that when using HCl in dioxane, the 4π-conrotatory electrocyclization is more favorable, whereas GaCl3 in methylene chloride shifts the chemoselectivity toward a putative 6π-disrotatory electrocyclization. DFT calculations suggest that a complex interplay between kinetic and thermodynamic factors is implicated in the chemodivergent behavior.

Abstract
The skeletal photorearrangement including 6π-electrocyclization induced by UV light of ortho-halogen-substituted diarylethenes has been studied. It has been found that the reaction pathways leading to bi- or tricyclic frameworks depend on the kind of halogen substituent and solvent. Photocyclization with halogen abstraction leads to bicyclic fused aromatics, while the tricyclic frameworks are formed due to the tandem 6π-electrocyclization/sigmatropic shift reaction. THF is preferred as the solvent in the former process and chloroform in the latter reaction. It was found for the first time that, owing to the ability of this series of diarylethenes to undergo skeletal photorearrangement with the release of the bromide cation, they can be used both as brominating agents and as Lewis acids for catalyzing electrophilic reactions.

Abstract
A novel quinazoline series of photoswitchable combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) analogues were synthesized and their photochemical properties and antiproliferative activity against A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells were studied. It was found that quinazoline analogues, in contrast to the majority of the known CA-4, exhibit high antiproliferative activity in the E-form as well. Photoswitching of the E-form to the Z-form resulted in a multiple (9-fold) increase in antiproliferative activity. 1H NMR monitoring showed that these compounds are very resistant to UV (λ = 365 nm) or sunlight irradiation and do not undergo photodegradation with a loss of antiproliferative activity that is inherent in heterocyclic analogues of CA-4. Similar photoswitching and an increase in antiproliferative activity are observed on exposure to sunlight. A selected compound (1a-Z51) in sub-micromolar concentrations induced apoptosis in A431 cells, while rad50/ATM/p53 were not involved in cell death. The growth of A431 cells was significantly inhibited after combination treatment with compound 1a-Z51 and chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil). In summary, the quinazoline analogues of CA-4 represent a promising strategy to achieve a photoswitchable potency for the treatment of cancers, including the development of combination therapies.

Abstract
The effect of electron and proton acceptors on the photocyclization of diarylethenes has been studied. Without any additives, the deprotonation reaction is predominant, although other processes, including the sigmatropic shift, are not excluded. A deuterium exchange experiment has shown that a strong base (DABCO) facilitates the deprotonation reaction, thereby limiting the sigmatropic shift. In the presence of an oxidizing agent or additional sources of radicals (O2, I2, TEMPO), the processes of deprotonation and rearrangement (H-shift) are practically not observed, and the reaction proceeds along a radical pathway with the formation of phenanthrene or its heterocyclic analogue.

Abstract
A metal-free intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddtion has been achieved by treating benzene-linked propynol-ynes with AcOH/H2O in a one-pot manner. The reaction provides greener, 100% atom-economic, highly regioselective, and more practical access to functionalized naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-ones with valuable and versatile applications. The regioselective α-deuteration of naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-ones has been also presented with excellent deuterium incorporation and chemical yields. Moreover, the fluorescent properties of naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-one products have been investigated in solution.

Abstract
This review analyzes the new life of a long-known reaction, the photocyclization of diarylethenes, which became a classical tool for the synthesis of phenanthrenes and their heterocyclic analogues (Mallory reaction). It has been shown in recent years that certain diarylethenes undergo photorearrangement to naphthalenes, benzannulated heterocycles, or related products with bicyclic unit. Herein, I analyze how the Mallory reaction path can be altered to obtain bicyclic rather than tricyclic products. The mechanistic aspects and scope of the reaction are discussed.
