The malfunctioning of protein kinases is a hallmark of numerous diseases, for which a satisfactory therapy is missing. We describe the design and synthesis of a kinase targeted library based on a novel 2-(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1, 3-benzoxazole scaffold. Ethyl 3-(3- nitrophenyl) pyrazole-4-carboxylate and its 4-nitro regioisomer were bound to trityl chloride resin, saponified with NaOH in MeOH, and amidated with a choice of two o-aminophenols. ...
