The latest data shows that the number of carboxylic acids available for purchase is 59 000, but only 24 000 meet the criteria for a “good” building block[1] [“rule of two” (Ro2)[2]]. A good-quality building block for medicinal chemistry could be defined as one typically having a molecular weight no greater than 200 Da, a clogP of less than 2 units, and no more than two hydrogen-bond donors and four hydrogen-bond acceptors. Over 20 000 carboxylic acids are available from commercial sources at a moderate cost of less than $150 per gram.[3]
