Fluorous-Enhanced Multicomponent Reactions for Making Drug-Like Library Scaffolds

Privileged scaffolds for library design and drug discovery.

This review explores the concept of using privileged scaffolds to identify biologically active compounds through building chemical libraries. We hope to accomplish three main objectives: to provide one of the most comprehensive listings of privileged scaffolds; to reveal through four selected examples the present state of the art in privileged scaffold library synthesis (in hopes of inspiring n...

Multicomponent reactions

Chemistry as a central science is facing a steadily increasing demand for new chemical entities (NCE). Innovative solutions, in all kinds of disciplines that depend on chemistry, require new molecules with specific properties, and their societal consequences are fundamental and pioneering. However, NCE not only demand a realistic structural space but also their feasibility poses challenges to s...

Development of fluorous Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions.

Organic synthetic methodology in the 21st century aims to conform to the principles of green sustainable chemistry (GSC) and we may expect that in the future, the realization of GSC will be an important objective for chemical industries. An important aim of synthetic organic chemistry is to implement waste-free and environmentally-benign industrial processes using Lewis acids as versatile as al...

Synthesis of Phosphorus Derivatives via Multicomponent Reactions

Stable derivatives of oxaphosphaphenanthrenes were prepared using multicomponent reactions of 3-bromo-2-naphthol, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate and trimethyl or triphenyl phosphite under microwave conditions with good yields.
