CAS 7| CAS No. | Chemical name | Fragment role | Target drug | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2189684-53-3 | 4-Chloro-7-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-indazol-3-amine | Indazole boronate fragment (4-chloro / 3-amino / N-trifluoroethyl; Suzuki coupling donor) Process note：Boronate ester: moisture-controlled, cold-chain handling; watch protodeboronation impurity and residual palladium | Lenacapavir | |
| 1620056-83-8 | 2-((3bS,4aR)-5,5-difluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-3b,4,4a,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta[1,2-c]pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid | Chiral pyrazole acetic-acid fragment (gem-difluoro + trifluoromethyl cyclopropa-fused cyclopentane core) Process note：Two contiguous stereocentres on a polyfluorinated core — optical purity and isomer separation are the process crux | Lenacapavir | |
| 2189684-54-4 | tert-butyl (S)-(1-(3-bromo-6-(3-methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)but-1-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)ethyl)carbamate | Chiral alkynyl sulfone pyridine fragment (Boc-protected amine, bromopyridine, 3,5-difluorophenyl) Process note：Contains an (S)-amine stereocentre and a terminal alkynyl sulfone — requires chiral control and alkyne stability studies | Lenacapavir | |
| 2212021-79-7 | (S)-5-(2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide | Indole-2-carboxamide fragment bearing the (S)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran chiral side chain Process note：Construction and ee control of the chiral side chain dominate cost | Orforglipron | |
| 2212021-83-3 | 5-[(S)-2,2-Dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl]-1-[(1S,2S)-2-methyl-1-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)cyclopropyl]-1H-indole-2-carboxylic Acid | Indole-2-carboxylic acid core fragment with the oxadiazolone-substituted chiral cyclopropane Process note：Two contiguous stereocentres plus an oxadiazolone ring — cyclopropane construction and ring stability are the focus | Orforglipron | |
| 2059155-02-9 | (S)-4-(difluoromethyl)oxazolidin-2-one | Chiral difluoromethyl oxazolidinone fragment ((S)-configuration, CF2H) Process note：A small, high-value building block — optical purity and the difluoromethylation step define the process | Inavolisib | |
| 3251-69-2 | 4-Imidazoleacetic acid hydrochloride | Imidazole acetic acid backbone starting material (hydrochloride salt) Process note：A commodity-grade backbone — price and lead time can be locked under an annual framework volume | Osilodrostat |
Common capabilitiesThe same delivery capability backs every campaign project
- ✓Route design and process development: hands-on scale-up experience with fluorinated, chiral, boronate and heterocyclic fragments at partner plants
- ✓Scale continuity: gram-scale validation → hundred-gram → kilogram → commercial, without a route change
- ✓Analytics: chiral ee, related substances, residual solvents, elemental impurities and genotoxic-impurity assessment to ICH conventions
- ✓Registration support: DMF feasibility assessment, starting-material justification, stability study design
- ✓Confidentiality: customer projects run under NDA; no cross-disclosure between plants and end customers

Supply scope and compliance note
Most of the target drugs above are originator products still under patent. The intermediates listed here are supplied for research use, and for markets where the patent has expired or a valid licence is in place. The buyer is responsible for confirming patent status and registration requirements in the target market and for the resulting compliance obligations. Third-party brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are referenced here only as a technical cross-reference.
Intermediate lists (CAS and chemical names) are taken from the Division II 2026 Key Projects source sheet. Regulatory and clinical information comes from originator press releases and public FDA material. Fragment roles are neutral descriptions derived from the chemical structure and do not represent the originator patent route. Chinese drug names are common industry transliterations, not official registered names.
