Construction of multifunctional modules for drug discovery: synthesis of novel thia/oxa-azaspiro[3.4]octanes

Org Lett. 2013 Sep 20;15(18):4766-9. doi: 10.1021/ol402127b. Epub 2013 Aug 30.

Abstract

New classes of thia/oxa-azaspiro[3.4]octanes are synthesized through the implementation of robust and step-economic routes. The targeted spirocycles have been designed to act as novel, multifunctional, and structurally diverse modules for drug discovery. Furthermore, enantioselective approaches to the spirocycles are reported.
