Partially Saturated Bicyclic Heteroaromatics as an sp3‐Enriched Fragment Collection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fragment-based lead generation has proven to be an effective means of identifying high-quality lead compounds for drug discovery programs. However, the fragment screening sets often used are principally comprised of sp(2) -rich aromatic compounds, which limits the structural (and hence biological) diversity of the library. Herein, we describe strategies for the synthesis of a series of partially saturated bicyclic heteroaromatic scaffolds with enhanced sp(3) character. Subsequent derivatization led to a fragment collection featuring regio- and stereo-controlled introduction of substituents on the saturated ring system, often with formation of new stereocenters.

Silver-Free Palladium-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H Arylation of Saturated Bicyclic Amine Scaffolds.
Herein, we report a silver-free Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation of saturated bicyclic and tricyclic amine scaffolds. The reaction provides good yields using a range of aryl iodides and aryl bromides including functionalized examples bearing aldehydes, ketones, esters, free phenols, and heterocycles. The methodology has been applied to medicinally relevant scaffolds. Two of the intermediate ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Aromatic Aza-metallapentalenes from Metallabenzene via Sequential Ring Contraction/Annulation
The concept of aromaticity has long played an important role in chemistry and continues to fascinate both experimentalists and theoreticians. Among the archetypal aromatic compounds, heteroaromatics are particularly attractive. Recently, substitution of a transition-metal fragment for a carbon atom in the anti-aromatic hydrocarbon pentalene has led to the new heteroaromatic osmapentalenes. Howe...
متن کاملDivergent Synthesis and Real-Time Biological Annotation of Optically Active Tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyranone Derivatives
Sp3-rich compounds are underrepresented in libraries for probe- and drug-discovery, despite their promise of extending the range of accessible molecular shapes beyond planar geometries. With this in mind, a collection of single-enantiomer bicyclic, fused cyclopentenones underpinned by a complexity-generating Pauson-Khand cyclization was synthesized. A fingerprint of biological actions of these ...
متن کاملCross-dehydrogenative coupling and oxidative-amination reactions of ethers and alcohols with aromatics and heteroaromatics
Cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) is a process in which, typically, a C-C bond is formed at the expense of two C-H bonds, either catalyzed by metals or other organic compounds, or via uncatalyzed processes. In this perspective, we present various modes of C-H bond-activation at sp3 centers adjacent to ether oxygen atoms, followed by C-C bond formation with aromatic systems as well as with he...
متن کاملBicyclic Saturated Hydrocarbons
Compact codes, recently introduced (ref. 1), have been applied to all known bicyclic saturated hydrocarbons as the first step in a systematic deriving compact codes for more complex ring systems. The codes are compared with IUPAC nomenclature for bicyclic compounds, as well as with WLN (Wiswesser Line Notation). Advantages of the compact codes are outlined, including qualified algebraic manipul...
