Popis: The derivatization of pharmaceuticals is a core activity in the discovery and development of new medicines. Late-stage functionalization via modern C H functionalization chemistry has emerged as a powerful technique with which to diversify advanced pharmaceutical intermediates. We report herein a case study in late-stage functionalization towards the development of a new class of indazole-based mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA). An effort to modify the electronics of the core indazole heterocycle inspired the use of modern C H borylation chemistry. New reactivity patterns were revealed and studied computationally. Ultimately, a de novo synthesis delivered a key 6-fluoroindazole compound 26, a potent MRA with excellent metabolic stability.
