high-throughput automatedsynthesis to rapidly develop library-amenable reaction conditions and maximize design space to expand access to BCPAs. This new protocol relies on a copper-mediated C–N coupling approach and uses accessible and bench-stable iodo-BCP building blocks. Its applicability has been exemplified by incorporating BCPs in drug-like compounds, providing straightforward access to a library of valuable
A newseries of 8-substituted-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decan-3-ones has been synthesized and tested in in vitro and in vivo assays predictive for cholinergic activity, in comparison with the muscarinic agent RS-86. Preliminary pharmacological data indicate that the compounds are devoid of significant cholinergic properties.
