Abstract
The proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have become an integral part of different stages of drug discovery. This growing field, therefore, benefits from advancements in all segments of the design of these compounds. Herein, an efficient and optimized synthetic protocol to various von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) ligands is presented, which enables easy access to multigram quantities of these essential PROTAC building blocks. Moreover, the elaborated synthesis represents a straightforward approach to further explore the chemical space of VHL ligands.
