2,5-disubstituted bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes as rigidified cyclopentane variants.

ABSTRACT: Identification of rigid counterparts for common flexible scaffolds is crucial to the advancement of medicinal chemistry. Here we showcase a new class of building blocks, 2,5-disubstituted bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes that can act as rigidified cis-, or trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclopentanes, common motifs in drugs. The scalable synthesis of these structures was enabled through the use of C-H functionalization logic and cycloaddition reactions.
