Abstract
Staurosporine is among the most potent naturally occurring kinase inhibitors isolated to date and has served as a lead compound for numerous drug development efforts in several therapeutic areas. Herein we report that C-H borylation chemistry provides access to analogs of staurosporine that were previously inaccessible to medicinal chemists who, in the past four decades, have prepared over 1000 semisynthetic staurosporine analogs.
