DNA-compatible combinatorial synthesis of functionalized 2-thiobenzazole scaffolds

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 1;59(62):9489-9492. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02593d.

Abstract

2-Thiobenzazole is among the privileged heterocyclic scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Constructing such structural components in DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) may promote related bioactive hit discovery in a high-throughput fashion. Herein, we reported a DNA-compatible mild-condition synthetic methodology to efficiently forge functionalized 2-thiobenzazole scaffolds, realizing on-DNA sulfhydryl incorporation with broad substrate scope, thereby expanding the scope of 2-thiobenzazole-focused DNA-encoded chemical libraries.
