Cyclobutane amino nitriles (CBANs) are gaining attention in medicinal chemistry as valuable α,α-disubstituted unnatural amino acid derivatives. Their rigid cyclobutane framework can improve potency, metabolic stability, and selectivity, making them attractive motifs for drug discovery programs. A recent Nature Chemistry publication reported the diastereoselective synthesis of congested CBANs from commercially available ketones and aldehydes through a modular and precise process. The transformation harnesses the unique reactivity of triplet nitrene, enabling a diradical-mediated ring expansion of alkylidenecyclopropanes combined with a titanium(IV)-catalysed cyanylation step. The method readily delivers hindered vicinal mono- and di-substituted CBANs, as well as spiro-fused architectures with substantial structural diversity. 🔗 Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s4155… AiFChem provides a diverse collection of ketone building blocks to support CBAN synthesis, scaffold diversification, and medicinal chemistry research.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used in biomedical research for its biocompatibility and ability to enhance solubility and extend the circulation half-life of therapeutic molecules. Introducing azide or alkyne groups further expands its utility, turning PEG into a functional handle for bioorthogonal conjugation. PEG azides and alkynes react selectively via click chemistry (e.g., CuAAC, SPAAC) under mild aqueous conditions, enabling efficient conjugation of biomolecules, drugs, and imaging agents. This chemistry supports a broad range of applications, including nanoparticle surface modification, hydrogel crosslinking, and site-specific ADC linker conjugation. AiFChem offers a range of PEG azide and alkyne derivatives to support these applications.

We have recently developed a visible-light-driven radical C–SuFEx method that activates S(VI)–F bonds via an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Gui Lu and Prof. Jiang Weng from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University. This approach enables efficient C–S bond formation under mild conditions, affording a diverse array of alkynyl sulfones, alkynyl sulfoximines, alkenyl sulfones, and vinylic sulfoximines. By unlocking this sulfur-rich chemical space, this methodology directly empowers both our innovative building block offerings and our expanding VAST virtual chemical library. From the late-stage modification of complex drugs to AI-driven virtual library design, we are paving the way for next-generation drug discovery. 📖 Read on to learn how this breakthrough is reshaping the future of sulfur-containing drug discovery.

Pyrrolidines are a cornerstone of drug discovery, present in nearly 15% of FDA-approved drugs. However, efficient access to stereochemically diverse, high-Fsp³ pyrrolidines remains a significant synthetic challenge. A recent breakthrough in the field is a rhodium-catalyzed ring expansion of azetidines via azetidinium ylide intermediates, enabling the efficient synthesis of functionalized N-aryl pyrrolidines. The method proceeds under mild conditions, avoids slow carbene addition, and demonstrates broad functional group tolerance. To support research involving this emerging synthetic strategy, AiFChem provides a curated collection of high-purity azetidine-based building blocks for pyrrolidine-focused medicinal chemistry.
