A Buchwald–Hartwig Protocol to Enable Rapid Linker Exploration of Cereblon E3‐Ligase PROTACs**

Abstract A palladium‐catalysed Buchwald–Hartwig amination for lenalidomide‐derived aryl bromides was optimised using high throughput experimentation (HTE). The substrate scope of the optimised conditions was evaluated for a range of alkyl‐ and aryl‐ amines and functionalised aryl bromides. The methodology allows access to new cereblon‐based bifunctional proteolysis targeting chimeras with a reduced step count and improved yields.
