Collective synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted, meta- and ortho-substituted arene bioisosteres from bicyclobutanes

Collective synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted, meta- and ortho-substituted arene bioisosteres from bicyclobutanes

Bioisosteric replacement of benzenes with caged hydrocarbons can form enhanced lead compounds with improved drug-like properties, but synthetic challenges limit their application. Now, a collective strategy for synthesizing saturated bioisosteres of 1,2,4-tri…
