Topic Synthesis of substitted purines, deazapurines and related heterocycles through the combination of C-H activations and cross-coupling reactions
Faculty PřF UK
Abstract

Novel C-H activation reactions (aminations, borylations, sulfenylations, phosphinylations etc.) of purines, deazapurines and some related fused heterocycles will be developed. These reactions will be utilized (in combination with C-C and/or C-X cross-coupling reactions) in the development of iterative regioselective syntheses of derivatives bearing multiple substituents. Finally, these methodologies will be applied for the synthesis of large series and libraries of derivatives for biological activity testing.
