Abstract
The synthesis of rigid C(sp3)-rich isosteric mimics of heteroaromatic rings has proved a significant challenge, but is of importance in drug discovery. Now, two studies report the synthesis of densely functionalized azetidines and bicycloalkanes, using a similar concept of breaking planarity.
