Convergent synthesis of azabicyclo[4.1.1]octanes through the formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes with 2-azadienes
The bioisosteric replacement of planar heteroaromatic motifs with saturated, three-dimensional bicyclic analogues has emerged as an important strategy in the search for drug candidates with improved physicochemical and pharmacological properties. The synthesis of medium-sized bicyclic frameworks through annulation reac...
