Abstract

The 2-substituted piperidine core is found in drugs (18 FDA-approved drugs), however, their spirocyclic analogues remain unknown. Described here is the synthesis of spirocyclic analogues for 2-substituted piperidines and a demonstration of their validation in drug discovery.

Keywords: drug discovery; heterocycles; small rings; spirocycles; synthetic methods.
