Abstract
The development of modular and efficient routes to functionalized bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (BCHs) is of considerable importance in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we disclose a photocatalytic [2π + 2σ] cycloaddition between bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) and N-vinylamides that enables the direct and regioselective construction of 2-aminobicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (2-aminoBCHs). Biological evaluation revealed that some of the BCH derivatives exhibit potent activity against A549 (lung cancer) and MDA-MB-231 (triple negative breast cancer) cell lines, outperforming their aromatic bioisosteres.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
