Abstract
The development of an efficient strategy for facile access to quinoline-based bis-heterocycles holds paramount importance in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we describe a unified approach for accessing 8-(indol-3-yl)methyl-quinolines by integrating Cp*Rh(iii)-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond activation of 8-methylquinolines followed by nucleophilic cyclization with o-ethynylaniline derivatives. Remarkably, methoxybiaryl ynones under similar catalytic conditions delivered quinoline tethered spiro[5.5]enone scaffolds via a dearomative 6-endo-dig C-cyclization. Moreover, leveraging this method for C8(sp2)-H bond activation of quinoline-N-oxide furnished biologically relevant oxindolyl-quinolines. This reaction proceeds via C(sp2)-H bond activation, regioselective alkyne insertion, oxygen-atom-transfer (OAT) and intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization in a cascade manner. One C-C, one C-N and one C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bond were created with concomitant formation of a quaternary center.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, DNA-encoded library (DEL) technologies have become one of the most relevant strategies for hit-finding. Recent advances in synthetic methodologies for DNA-encoded libraries rendered the increased chemical space available, but it is unknown how every variety of chemistry affects DNA's integrity. Available assays to quantify DNA damage are restricted to electrophoresis, ligation efficiency, and mostly qPCR quantification and sequencing, which may contain predisposition and inconsistency. We developed an external standard method through LC-MS analysis to accurately quantify DNA damage throughout the chemical transformations. An assessment was conducted on on-DNA chemical reactions that are frequently employed in DEL synthesis, and these results were compared to traditional qPCR measurements. Our study provides a simple, practicable, and accurate measurement for DNA degradation during DEL synthesis. Our finding reveals substantial disagreement among the usual DNA-damaging assessment methods, which have been largely neglected so far.

Abstract
A DNA-compatible reaction has been developed for the cyanomethylation of (hetero)aryl halides or triflates via a tandem process involving palladium-mediated Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and base-promoted isoxazole fragmentation. This one-pot protocol employs easily accessible starting materials, exhibits a wide substrate scope, and results in no significant DNA damage. Additionally, the resulting (hetero)arylacetonitriles can be converted into the corresponding carboxylic acids, which may be utilized for the synthesis of DNA-encoded chemical libraries.

Abstract
DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) are widely used in the discovery of drug candidates, and understanding their design principles is critical for accessing better libraries. Most DELs are combinatorial in nature and are synthesized by assembling sets of building blocks in specific topologies. In this study, different aspects of library topology were explored and their effect on DEL properties and chemical diversity was analyzed. We introduce a descriptor for DEL topological assignment (DELTA) and use it to examine the landscape of possible DEL topologies and their coverage in the literature. A generative topographic mapping analysis revealed that the impact of library topology on chemical space coverage is secondary to building block selection. Furthermore, it became apparent that the descriptor used to analyze chemical space dictates how structures cluster, with the effects of topology being apparent when using three-dimensional descriptors but not with common two-dimensional descriptors. This outcome points to potential challenges of attempts to predict DEL productivity based on chemical space analyses alone. While topology is rather inconsequential for defining the chemical space of encoded compounds, it greatly affects possible interactions with target proteins as illustrated in docking studies using NAD/NADP binding proteins as model receptors.
