Replacement of the aromatic rings in drug candidates with isosteric rigid sp3-rich scaffolds can improve physicochemical properties, increase chance progressing molecule development, and open new chemical space. Isosteres meta-substituted benzenes remain challenging due to difficulty mimicking exit vector angles bond distances. Herein, we report synthesis 1,5-disubstituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes (oxa-BCHeps), which serve as saturated isosteres phenyl a similar geometric arrangement. This structural motif be obtained under mild reaction conditions via acid-mediated isomerization (2-oxaspiro[3.3]heptan-6-yl)methanols using catalytic quantities pyridinium chloride (PyrHCl). We demonstrate utility this methodology by preparing various building blocks for use medicinal chemistry incorporating 3-oxa-BCHep into anticancer sonidegib, improving its such permeability, metabolic stability, solubility.

Rigid three-dimensional scaffolds such as 2-azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (aza-BCHs) and bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) serve unique saturated isosteres of arenes, offering distinct substitution patterns due to their differing molecular exit vectors. This study introduces a skeletal editing strategy that efficiently transforms multisubstituted aza-BCHs into BCPs via an O-diphenylphosphinylhydroxylamine-promoted N-atom deletion process. method effectively addresses the challenge creating sterically hindered (2°)C–C(3°) bonds by removing nitrogen atom encased within bulky alkyl groups, reconstructing strained aza-BCH structure more BCP without generating undesired ring-opening diene byproducts. The used can be prepared from modified intermolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition between bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes imines, making this practical. approach achieves remarkable efficiency, with yields up 99% scalability decagram quantities. resulting carboxylates further functionalized through decarboxylation, highlighting potential for programmed divergent synthesis BCPs. broad substrate scope high functional group tolerance protocol emphasize its versatility, it particularly valuable late-stage contained peptides, natural products, pharmaceuticals.
