Synthesis of Peptidomimetics Based on Functionalizable Freidinger Lactams

University of Sheffield Department of Chemistry

Despite mediating a plethora of vital biological processes in living organisms, peptides remain a challenging class of drug targets due to their poor cell penetration, proteolytic instability and unfavourable pharmacokinetics. Read more

Synthesis of Heteroaromatic Boronic Esters via Annulation Reactions of Ynone Trifluoroborate Salts

University of Sheffield Department of Chemistry

We have recently shown that ynones armed with the synthetically versatile trifluoroborate functional group can be elaborated to a range of useful heteroaromatic building blocks (Ref 1) and that these offer useful platforms for drug discovery (Ref 2). Read more
