New paper out in Organic Letters! 🎉
Polar and e-radical strain-release strategies provide modular access to C1- and C4-functionalized OBHOs from bicyclo[1.1.0]butane carboxylic acids.
A collaboration across Bari, Bologna & Sassari!

Super-strained spirocycles meet AI-supported target fishing. ⏹️🤝🎣
We introduce a new class of "super-strained" spirocycles which through AI-supported target fishing (@CASChemistry) were found to be agonists for the sigma-1 receptor. 💊
Now in @angew_chem

If strained spiro heterocycles have caught your attention, wait until you meet their "super-strained" counterparts. Full disclosure of results soon - stay tuned!! 🔜

🔬Modular access to spiro[2.3]hexanes!
New sulfonium salts enable JCC-type reactions to build oxa- & diazaspiro[2.3]hexanes-rigid, sp³-rich bioisosteres.

📄New Preprint: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step, photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines.
Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow.

🔔Interested in strained spirocycles as potential bioisosteres? 🔔
Our recent @angew_chem describes our approach for the modular synthesis of spiro[2.3]hexanes and our in silico & in vitro investigation of their potential bioisosterism! @Luisi_Lab

An interesting skeletal construction method published in Nature:
nature.com/articles/s41586-0… A similar approach, published 75 years ago, still seems to be more convenient (although may be less tolerant): orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=CV…
