Highly reactive and strained heterocycles are of great interest as building blocks in synthetic organic chemistry and drug discovery. One such unit that has attracted recent interest is the 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane unit, which has been proposed as a surrogate for morpholine in drug-like compounds and whose synthesis has been shown to be challenging. Recently, the group of Dr. Richard N. S. van der Haas at the company
Dr. van der Haas said: “With this well-scalable approach 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3,3]heptane is finally available as a stable, crystalline, well-defined and more soluble sulfonate salt ready for use in chemical conversions.”
