The pressure to deliver new medicines to the patient continues to grow along with increases in compound failure rate, thus putting the current R&D model at risk. Analysis has shown that increasing the three-dimensionality of potential drug candidates decreases the risk of failure and improves binding selectivity and frequency. For this reason many workers have taken a new look at the power of photochemistry as a means to generate novel sp rich scaffolds for use in drug discovery programs. Here we report the design, synthesis, and computational structural analysis of a series of 2,4-methanoprolines having inherent 3D character (PMI and PBF scores) significantly higher than that of the broader AbbVie Rule of 3 (Ro3) collection.

Borazine and its derivatives can be considered critical doping units for engineering hybrid C(sp2)-based molecules with tailored optoelectronic properties. Herein, we report the first synthesis of hexaarylborazines that, bearing ortho-substituted aryl moieties, extend three-dimensionally. Using a one-pot protocol, we first form an electrophilic chloroborazole and then react it with an aryl lithium (ArLi).

Bridged bicyclic scaffolds are emerging bioisosteres of planar aromatic rings under the concept of "escape from flatland". However, adopting this concept into the exploration of bioisosteres of pyridines remains elusive due to the challenge of incorporating a N atom into such bridged bicyclic structures. Herein, we report practical routes for the divergent synthesis of 2- and 3-azabicyclo[3.

In the context of growing impetus to develop new molecular scaffolds as well as a variety of 3D fragments to escape from flatland, we have reintroduced the accessibility of the underexplored azaheterocyclic amidrazones as promising bioisosteres. Herein, we present an original and versatile approach to synthesize cyclic amidrazones functionalized at different positions of the scaffold in view of diversifying the substitution pattern towards multifunctionalization, extension or fusion of the ring system and 3D-shaping of fragments. This unprecedented synthetic route represents a sweet achievement to cover further lead-like chemical space.
