Bicycloalkanes, cubanes and their structural analogues have emerged as bioisosteres of (hetero)arenes. To meet increasing demand, the chemical community has developed a plethora novel synthetic methods. In this review, we assess progress made in field light-driven construction functionalization such relevant molecules. We focused on diverse targets, well reaction processes giving access to: (i) [1.1.1]-bicyclopentanes (BCPs); (ii) [2.2.1]-bicyclohexanes (BCHs); (iii) [3.1.1]-bicycloheptanes (BCHeps); (iv) cubanes; other structurally related scaffolds. Finally, future perspectives dealing with identification manifolds to new functionalized bioisosteric units are discussed.

Abstract Herein, we have synthesized multifunctionalized 2‐oxa‐3‐azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes, which are considered potential bioisosteres for meta ‐substituted arenes, through Eu(OTf) 3 ‐catalyzed formal dipolar [4π+2σ] cycloaddition of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes with nitrones. This methodology represents the initial instance fabricating bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes adorned multiple heteroatoms. The protocol exhibits both mild reaction conditions and a good tolerance various functional groups. Computational density theory calculations support that mechanism likely involves nucleophilic addition nitrones to bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes, succeeded by an intramolecular cyclization. synthetic utility this novel has been demonstrated in concise synthesis analogue Rupatadine.

For nearly 60 years, significant research efforts have been focused on developing strategies for the cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs). However, higher-order and catalytic asymmetric BCBs long-standing formidable challenges. Here, we report Pd-catalyzed ligand-controlled, tunable cycloadditions divergent synthesis bridged bicyclic frameworks. The dppb ligand facilitates formal (5+3) vinyl oxiranes, yielding valuable eight-membered ethers with scaffolds in 100% regioselectivity. Cy-DPEphos promotes selective hetero-[2σ+2σ] to access pharmacologically important 2-oxabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (O-BCHeps). Furthermore, corresponding O-BCHeps 94–99% ee has achieved using chiral (S)-DTBM-Segphos, representing first cross-dimerization two strained rings. obtained are promising bioisosteres ortho-substituted benzenes.

Ring-opening of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) is emerging as a powerful strategy for 1,3-difunctionalized cyclobutane synthesis. However, reported radical strain-release reactions are typically plagued with diastereoselectivity issues. Herein, an atom-economic protocol the highly chemo- and diastereoselective polar ring-opening BCBs hydroxyarenes catalyzed by π-acid catalyst AgBF4 has been developed. The use readily available starting materials, low loading, high selectivity (up to >98 : 2 d.r.), broad substrate scope, ease scale-up, versatile functionalizations products make this approach very attractive synthesis 1,1,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes. Moreover, control experiments theoretical calculations were performed illustrate reaction mechanism selectivity.
