Abstract
Azaspiro[3.3]heptanes are valuable synthetic targets for drug discovery programs. The challenges associated with the preparation and diversification of this moiety as compared to other small, saturated rings have led to limited applications of compounds containing this spirocycle. In this regard, important advances in the field of synthetic photochemistry have exploited the biradical nature of the triplet excited state of 2-isoxazoline-3-carboxylates, engaging these species in intermolecular coupling reactions under visible light irradiation. As a continuation of our program preparing F(sp3)-rich, structurally complex molecules for DNA-encoded library technology (DELT) applications via photocatalysis, we disclose herein the incorporation of unique and densely functionalized 2-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes via [2+2] cycloaddition energy transfer sensitization, providing access to an unexplored library of azaspiro compounds, many of which include additional synthetic handles important for further functionalization of the DNA-conjugated products and for library production.
