1‐Azaspiro[3.3]heptanes were synthesized, characterized, and validated biologically as bioisosteres of piperidine. The key synthesis step was thermal [2+2] cycloaddition between endocyclic alkenes and the Graf isocyanate, ClO2S−NCO, to give spirocyclic β‐lactams. Reduction of the β‐lactam ring with alane produced 1‐azaspiro[3.3]heptanes. Incorporation of this core into the anesthetic drug bupivacaine instead of the piperidine fragment resulted in a new patent‐free analogue with high activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The synthesis of multifunctional spirocycles was achieved from common cyclic carboxylic acids (cyclobutane carboxylate, cyclopentane carboxylate, l‐proline, etc.). The whole sequence included only two chemical steps—synthesis of azetidinones, and reduction into azetidines. The obtained spirocyclic amino acids were incorporated into a structure of the known anesthetic drug Bupivacaine. The obtained analogues were more active and less toxic than the original drug. We believe that this discovery will lead to a wide use of spirocyclic building blocks in drug discovery in the near future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: AgFeP2O7 has been synthesized by flux crystallization and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (sp. gr. P21/c, a=7.3298(2), b=7.9702(2), c=9.5653(2)Å, β=111.842(1)°, V=518.68(2)Å3) and FTIR-spectroscopy. The structure is composed of isolated iron octahedra and phosphate tetrahedra interconnected into 3D network with hexagonal channels, where silver counter-ions are located. The magnetic behavior of the compound approaches the Curie–Weiss equation with a Weiss constant θ=−165.9K indicating strong antiferromagnetic interaction between iron(III) ions.
