要旨

Natural products (NPs) have been shown to be an extraordinary source of bioactive compounds and three-dimensional complex frameworks that can be useful to produce high-value molecular collections that are able to address “undruggable” and difficult therapeutic targets. Bicyclic acetals are particularly relevant for these purposes, given their key role in several biological interactions and the structural and stereochemical diversity that comes from the many possible ring combinations. To investigate this topological diversity, we have systematically characterized in a systematic and detailed manner fused, spiro and bridged bicyclic acetals in a large set of NPs, highlighting the great potential of bicyclic acetals in Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS). Accordingly, a summary of some recent efforts on the development of acetal-containing small molecule collections through DOS approaches is herein reported.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
