As a bioisostere for phenyl rings, tert-butyl groups and internal alkynes, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) can improve the drug-like qualities of bioactive molecules. Therefore, the incorporation of high-value functional groups to BCP scaffold becomes an efficient synthetic strategy to design new bioisosteres in drug development. Herein a radical-mediated bromoalkylation of[1.1.1]propellane was disclosed, leading to brominated BCP derivatives. Bromoalkyl heteroarylsulfones were employed as dual-function reagents in the radical transformation, in which two functionalities, alkylheteroarylsulfone and bromine atom, were concurrently introduced into[1.1.1]propellane. These reactions proceeded rapidly, and were generally completed within 2 h at room temperature. A variety of new alkylheteroarylsulfone-substituted BCP derivatives were furnished with high product diversity. This protocol features excellent atom-economy, simple operation, and gram-scale preparation.
