Abstract:
The rigidity and flexibility of small molecules are complementary in 3-dimensional ligand-protein interaction. Therefore, the chemical library with conformational diversity would be a valuable resource for investigating the influence of skeletal flexibility on the biological system. In this regard, we designed and synthesized ten conformationally diverse pyrimidine-embedded medium/macro- and bridged cyclic scaffolds covering 7- to 14-member rings via an efficient skeletal transformation strategy. Their high conformational and shape diversity was confirmed by chemoinformatic analysis.

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...
