Late-stage meta-C–H alkylation of pharmaceuticals to modulate biological properties and expedite molecular optimisation in a single step

Abstract Catalysed C–H activation has emerged as a transformative platform for molecular synthesis and provides new opportunities in drug discovery by late-stage functionalisation (LSF) of complex molecules. Notably, small aliphatic motifs have gained significant interest in medicinal chemistry for...
