The landscape of viral strains and lineages of SARS-CoV-2 keeps changing and is currently dominated by Delta and Omicron variants. Members of the latest Omicron variants, including BA.1, are showing a high level of immune evasion, and Omicron has become a prominent variant circulating globally. In our search for versatile medicinal chemistry scaffolds, we prepared a library of substituted α-aminocyclobutanones from an α-aminocyclobutanone synthon (11). We performed an in silico screen of this actual chemical library as well as other virtual 2-aminocyclobutanone analogs against seven SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural proteins to identify potential drug leads against SARS-CoV-2, and more broadly against coronavirus …

The hydrochloride salt of ɑ-aminocyclobutanone protected as its dimethyl acetal 2,2-dimethoxycyclobutan-1-aminium chloride (3) has been prepared as a modular synthon for convenient access to cyclobutanone-containing lead inhibitors of hydrolase enzymes including serine proteases and metalloproteases. Protected ɑ-aminocyclobutanone 3 was converted to representative amide and sulfonamide-functionalized 2-aminocyclobutanone derivatives. Reaction of the amino acetal 3 with phenyl isothiocyanate afforded the bicyclic urea 1-hydroxyl-2,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3-thione (9) as confirmed by a single crystal X-ray structure.
