The Medicinal Chemist's Toolbox: An Analysis of Reactions Used in the Pursuit of Drug Candidates

TL;DR: The reaction types used in the pursuit of novel drug candidates are analyzed to evaluate their frequency of occurrence, alongside other factors such as drug likeness, chirality, and the number of steps to each derivative.

Carboxylic acids as substrates in homogeneous catalysis.

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of interesting catalytic transformations of carboxylic acids and a number of derivatives accessible from them in situ to provide an invitation to complement, refine, and use these new methods in organic synthesis.

Conversion of amides to esters by the nickel-catalysed activation of amide C-N bonds

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that amide carbon–nitrogen bonds can be activated and cleaved using nickel catalysts and is expected to lead to the further use of amides in the construction of carbon–heteroatom or carbon–carbon bonds using non-precious-metal catalysis.

New hybrid transition state analog inhibitors of HIV protease with peripheric C2-symmetry

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid transition state analogs, a combination of phosphinic acid-and hydroxy-methylene-type inhibitors of HIV protease, was proposed, placed in a peripheric C 2 -symmetrical environment.

Conjugate Addition of Alkyllithium Reagents to α,β-Unsaturated N, N',N'-Trimethylhydrazides

TL;DR: The site of nucleophilic attack by an alkyllithium reagent upon an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound is governed by, among other factors, the nature of the group attached to the carbonyls.
