Speaker: Ya Chen

Location: 5#100 Conference Room
To modify lead compounds, modern medicinal chemists are increasing turning to unusual strained bioisosteres such as bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, azetidine, and cyclobutane. However, the difficulty of installing these fragments often outweighs the challenge of synthesizing the parent scaffold itself. Recently, Phil S. Baran and co-workers have reported a general strategy where spring-loaded, strained C-C and C-N bonds react with nucleophiles to allow for the “any stage” installation of small, strained ring systems. The methodology has also been applied to peptide labeling and bioconjugation. In this report, I will introduce several strain-release reagents. More importantly, the development and application of strain-release heteroatom functionalization will be presented.
