Multidirectional desymmetrization of pluripotent building block en route to diastereoselective synthesis of complex nature-inspired scaffolds
Abstract
Methods enabling the synthesis of diverse collections of nature-inspired compounds with potential medicinal use are sought after in drug design. Here, the authors report a build/couple/pair strategy to efficiently construct chiral polycyclic scaffolds and show their diversification for drug discovery screening.
