*Headline*: Transforming Inexpensive Quinolines into Complex Drug Candidates
*Sub-headline: * Scientists develop a cost-effective methodology to produce
various biologically relevant organic compounds from simple feedstock
chemicals.
*(Tokyo, June 19) * An innovative synthesis strategy opened up the way to
2D/3D fused frameworks using inexpensive quinolines as feedstock, report
scientists from Tokyo Tech. By leveraging a light-sensitive borate
intermediate, the scientists could transform quinoline derivatives into a
great variety of 2D/3D fused frameworks in a straightforward and
cost-effective manner. Their findings are expected to enable the synthesis
of highly customizable drug candidates.
