Application

3,6-Bis(methylthio)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine can be used as a versatile building block in the inverse elecron demand hetero Diels-Alder reactions. The Boger Research Group has reported this powerful approach in the synthesis of alkaloids.
It can also used to synthesize:
  • Substituted indoles and indolines derivatives by sequential [4+2] cycloaddition reactions.
  • 3-(Methylthio)-6-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine by aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction.

As the exploration of the properties of complex natural products becomes increasingly more sophisticated with the technological advances being made in their screening and evaluation and as structural details of their interaction with biological targets becomes more accessible, the importance and opportunities for providing unique solutions to complex biological problems has grown. The Boger Lab addresses these challenging problems by understanding the complex solutions and subtle design elements that nature has provided in the form of a natural product and work to extend the solution through rational design elements to provide more selective, more efficacious, or more potent agents designed specifically for the problem or target under investigation. The resulting efforts have reduced many difficult or intractable synthetic challenges to manageable problems providing an approach not only to the natural product but one capable of simple extrapolation to a series of structural analogs with improved selectivity and efficacy.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
