Abstract

Functionalised tetrahydropyran and spirooxepane scaffolds were prepared utilising an iodoetherification strategy and elaborated to demonstrate their potential use in library synthesis. The iodoetherification products could be readily transformed to the corresponding azides that could be further functionalised via copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition or reduction to the amine. The lead-likeness and three-dimensionality of the scaffolds were examined and compared to commercial libraries.
