Bulky substrates were tested, and lead-like product formation was demonstrated. The online tool SambVca2.0 was used to assess steric parameters of ligands and preliminary buried volume determination using XRD- obtained data in a small number of cases proved to be informative. Two modeling approaches were compared for the determination of the buried volume of ligands where XRD data was not available. An approach with imposed steric restrictions was found to be superior in leading to buried volume determinations that closely correlate with observed reaction conversions. The online tool LLAMA was used to determine lead-likeness of potential Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling products, from which 10 of the most lead-like were successfully synthesized. Thus, confirming these readily accessible triazole-containing phosphines as highly suitable ligands for reaction screening and optimization in drug discovery campaigns. ■ INTRODUCTION are not always employed as innocent bystander linkage motifs. fi 1−4 Triazoles of this type have been used as analogues of peptide Click chemistry, as de ned by Sharpless and co-workers, 16 has transformed the face, and accessibility to the nonspecialist linkages (Figure 1, 2), such peptidomimetics are physiolog- of molecular linking strategies.
