Bicyclo [x.y.z] alkanes


Our bicyclo[x.y.z]alkanes series are rigid carbocycles with one or two exit vectors positioned at the bridge-head positions. They can serve as rigid linkers, spacers or scaffolds and offer a great diversity for the orientation of exit vectors in a rigid manner.


Why Bicyclo[x.y.z]alkanes?


Our bicyclo[x.y.z]alkanes series is a useful addition to our portfolio of innovative chemical tools designed in a continuous effort to provide as many solutions as possible to the medicinal chemistry community for accelerated drug discovery.

With the growing success of the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes series, we wanted to extend the chemical space to their homologated versions. For example, the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes are elongated versions of the [1.1.1] series and offer a linear positioning of exit vectors. Introduction of a bridge of a different length will generate an angle between the two exit vectors as seen in the [2.1.1], [2.2.1], [3.1.1] and [3.2.2] series (Figure), thereby potentially offering a 3-dimensional alternative to arenes with meta substitution patterns.

Our bicyclo[x.y.z]alkanes can also be used as conformationally-restricted analogs of more standard carbocycles (cyclobutanes, cyclopentanes, cyclohexanes), thereby offering a more rigid scaffold, positioning exit vectors in a fixed orientation and reducing the entropy.


Why SpiroChem?


SpiroChem is a world-leading player in field of chemical innovation and chemical-space expansion, with a strong focus on designing the right tools to facilitate the work of medicinal chemists and accelerate drug discovery programs. Most of our bicyclo[x.y.z]alkane series are available from on multi-gram scale and we can offer larger quantities on demand.

At SpiroChem, we know that each drug discovery program is unique and requires flexibility. This is why we can make derivatives of all our products on demand, thereby reducing the amount of synthetic work that needs to be done and allowing you to focus on high-value-added transformations. So do not hesitate asking us for derivatives of our catalog products!
