Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) is a powerful hit selection technique in both basic science and innovative drug discovery. In this study, we report a robust and straightforward DNA-compatible diazo-transfer reaction utilizing FSO2N3 as the diazo-transfer reagent in solution. This reaction demonstrates high conversions and facile operation while being metal-free and maintaining high levels of DNA fidelity. It is also compatible with a wide range of substrates, allowing for convenient access to both aliphatic and aromatic amines. Consequently, it will further enrich the DEL chemistry toolbox.

Abstract
Reactions of α-pyrones with oxacyclic allenes in Diels-Alder trappings are described. We investigate regioselectivity trends and perform competition experiments to assess the influence of structural and electronic features on relative reaction rates. We also demonstrate the stereospecific trapping of an oxacyclic allene, which proceeds in high optical yield. This study provides insight into strained cyclic allene reactivity, as well as new synthetic tools for the rapid construction of complex, heterocyclic scaffolds.

Abstract
The versatile reactivity of isothiocyanate intermediates enabled the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of N-heterocycles in a DNA-compatible manner. We first reported a mild in situ conversion of DNA-conjugated amines to isothiocyanates. Subsequently, a set of diverse transformations was successfully developed to construct 2-thioxo-quinazolinones, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, and 2-imino thiazolines. Finally, the feasibility of these approaches in constructing DELs was further demonstrated through enzymatic ligation and mock pool preparation. This study demonstrated the advantages of combining in situ conversion strategies with DOS, which effectively broadened the chemical and structural diversity of DELs.

Abstract
This Perspective explores molecular glues and bifunctional compounds-proximity-inducing compounds-and offers a framework to understand and exploit their similarity to hotspots, missense mutations, and posttranslational modifications (PTMs). This view is also shown to be relevant to intramolecular glues, where compounds induce contacts between distinct domains of the same protein. A historical perspective of these compounds is presented that shows the field has come full circle from molecular glues targeting native proteins, to bifunctionals targeting fusion proteins, and back to molecular glues and bifunctionals targeting native proteins. Modern screening methods and data analyses with pre-selected target proteins are shown to yield either cooperative molecular glues or bifunctional compounds that induce proximity, thereby enabling novel functional outcomes.

Abstract
We report the strain-induced [2 + 2] cycloadditions of cyclic allenes for the assembly of highly substituted cyclobutanes. By judicious choice of trapping agent, complex scaffolds bearing heteroatoms, fused rings, contiguous stereocenters, spirocycles, and quaternary centers are ultimately accessible. Moreover, we show that the resulting cycloadducts can undergo thermal isomerization. This study provides an alternative strategy to photochemical [2 + 2] cycloadditions for accessing highly functionalized cyclobutanes, while validating the use of underexplored strained intermediates for the assembly of complex architectures.

Abstract
Strained cyclic tetrylones are important synthons due to various synthetic applications. Connecting two cyclic tetrylone rings through a single shared quaternary group 14 element atom to form a spirocyclic molecule has been unexplored both theoretically and experimentally. The formation of a spirocyclic motif has been a synthetic challenge. In contrast, the reaction of amidinato disilicon(I) 1, (Me3P)2SiCl4, and KC8 afforded π-delocalized spiro[3.3]heptasila-2,6-diylidone2 and tetrasilacyclobutadiene byproducts 3 and 4. Compound 2 is the smallest spirocyclic tetrylone derivative, which is composed of a σ-type lone pair and delocalized π bond in each all-silicon spirocyclic ring. The electronic property is supported by its coordination with a W(CO)5 moiety.

Abstract
We report an experimental and computational investigation of the likely mechanism of a cascade reaction. The reaction involves an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, followed by a C-C bond cleavage, to afford a complex bridged bicyclic product. As multiple reaction pathways could be envisioned for the latter step, the mechanism of the C-C bond cleavage step was investigated. Two reasonable reaction pathways were evaluated. Both computations and experiments indicate that the C-C bond cleavage step proceeds by a retro-carbonyl-ene pathway rather than a retro-aldol pathway. This report underscores the synergy between computational and experimental studies and establishes the mechanism of an interesting complexity-generating transformation.

Abstract
Click chemistry is a powerful molecular assembly strategy for rapid functional discovery. The development of click reactions with new connecting linkage is of great importance for expanding the click chemistry toolbox. We report the first selenium-nitrogen exchange (SeNEx) click reaction between benzoselenazolones and terminal alkynes (Se-N to Se-C), which is inspired by the biochemical SeNEx between Ebselen and cysteine (Cys) residue (Se-N to Se-S). The formed selenoalkyne connection is readily elaborated, thus endowing this chemistry with multidimensional molecular diversity. Besides, this reaction is modular, predictable, and high-yielding, features fast kinetics (k2≥14.43 M-1 s-1), excellent functional group compatibility, and works well at miniaturization (nanomole-scale), opening up many interesting opportunities for organo-Se synthesis and bioconjugation, as exemplified by sequential click chemistry (coupled with ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC) and sulfur-fluoride exchange (SuFEx)), selenomacrocycle synthesis, nanomole-scale synthesis of Se-containing natural product library and DNA-encoded library (DEL), late-stage peptide modification and ligation, and multiple functionalization of proteins. These results indicated that SeNEx is a useful strategy for new click chemistry developments, and the established SeNEx chemistry will serve as a transformative platform in multidisciplinary fields such as synthetic chemistry, material science, chemical biology, medical chemistry, and drug discovery.

Abstract
DNA encoded library (DEL) synthesis represents a convenient means to produce, annotate and store large collections of compounds in a small volume. While DELs are well suited for drug discovery campaigns, the chemistry used in their production must be compatible with the DNA tag, which can limit compound class accessibility. As a result, most DELs are heavily populated with peptidomimetic and sp2 -rich molecules. Herein, we show that sp3 -rich mono- and bicyclic heterocycles can be made on DNA from ketochlorohydrin aldol products through a reductive amination and cyclization process. The resulting hydroxypyrrolidines possess structural features that are desirable for DELs and target a distinct region of pharmaceutically relevant chemical space.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes are short-lived intermediates that confine a functional group with a preferred linear geometry, an allene, into a small ring, inducing strain-driven reactivity. Nitrogen-containing variants, or azacyclic allenes, have proved valuable for the assembly of complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Whereas 3,4-azacyclic allenes, which bear a symmetrical core, have been the focus of multiple studies, their unsymmetrical 2,3-azacyclic counterparts have remained underexplored. In the present study, we report density functional theory studies investigating the structure of such unsymmetrical azacyclic allenes and experimental efforts to access and engage them in strain-promoted cycloadditions under mild conditions. Control experiments support either concerted or stepwise diradical mechanisms for these reactions, depending on the type of cycloaddition examined. Moreover, we generate the corresponding 2,3-oxacyclic allene and demonstrate its reactivity in cycloadditions and a metal-catalysed process. Given the scaffolds accessed, coupled with the observed selectivity trends, these results are expected to encourage the application of unsymmetrical heterocyclic allenes for the synthesis of heterocycles that bear a high fraction of sp3-hybridized atoms.

Abstract
We have developed a straightforward and rapid methodology for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes bearing carboxylic acids in the 1,3-position through the gold(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals to ynones. The reaction was evaluated with several substrates, and 21 allenes were obtained in moderate to good yields. Using DFT calculations, we studied the mechanism of the reaction, which suggested a nucleophilic 1,4-addition pathway. The potential of allenes to act as a source of highly functionalized lactones was also explored.

Abstract
DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) links the power of amplifiable genetics and the non-self-replicating chemical phenotypes, generating a diverse chemical world. In analogy with the biological world, the DEL world can evolve by using a chemical central dogma, wherein DNA replicates using the PCR reactions to amplify the genetic codes, DNA sequencing transcripts the genetic information, and DNA-compatible synthesis translates into chemical phenotypes. Importantly, DNA-compatible synthesis is the key to expanding the DEL chemical space. Besides, the evolution-driven selection system pushes the chemicals to evolve under the selective pressure, i.e., desired selection strategies. In this perspective, we summarized recent advances in expanding DEL synthetic toolbox and panning strategies, which will shed light on the drug discovery harnessing in vitro evolution of chemicals via DEL.

Abstract
An ideal DNA-encoded library (DEL) selection requires the library to consist of diverse core skeletons and cover chemical space as much as possible. However, the lack of efficient on-DNA synthetic approaches toward core skeletons has greatly restricted the diversity of DEL. To mitigate this issue, this work disclosed a "Mask & Release" strategy to streamline the challenging on-DNA core skeleton synthesis. N-phenoxyacetamide is used as a masked phenol and versatile directing group to mediate diversified DNA-compatible C-H functionalization, introducing the 1st-dimensional diversity at a defined site, and simultaneously releasing the phenol functionality, which can facilitate the introduction of the 2nd diversity. This work not only provides a set of efficient syntheses toward DNA-conjugated drug-like core skeletons such as ortho-alkenyl/sulfiliminyl/cyclopropyl phenol, benzofuran, dihydrobenzofuran but also provides a paradigm for on-DNA core skeleton synthetic method development.

Abstract
Bioconjugation chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for the modification of diverse biomolecules under mild conditions. Tetrazole, initially proposed as a bioorthogonal photoclick handle for 1,3-dipolar cyclization with alkenes, was later demonstrated to possess broader photoreactivity with carboxylic acids, serving as a versatile bioconjugation and photoaffinity labeling probe. In this study, we unexpectedly discovered and validated the photoreactivity between tetrazole and primary amine to afford a new 1,2,4-triazole cyclization product. Given the significance of functionalized N-heterocycles in medicinal chemistry, we successfully harnessed the serendipitously discovered reaction to synthesize both pharmacologically relevant DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) and small molecule compounds bearing 1,2,4-triazole scaffolds. Furthermore, the mild reaction conditions and stable 1,2,4-triazole linkage found broad application in photoinduced bioconjugation scenarios, spanning from intramolecular peptide macrocyclization and templated DNA reaction cross-linking to intermolecular photoaffinity labeling of proteins. Triazole cross-linking products on lysine side chains were identified in tetrazole-labeled proteins, refining the comprehensive understanding of the photo-cross-linking profiles of tetrazole-based probes. Altogether, this tetrazole-amine bioconjugation expands the current bioconjugation toolbox and creates new possibilities at the interface of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

Abstract
Here we describe a novel catalyst-free 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition bioconjugation approach for chemical modification of proteins. The dehydroalanine (Dha)-containing protein reacts with nitrile oxides generated in situ through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in fully aqueous-buffered systems. This leads to the formation of a new isoxazoline ring at a pre-defined site (Dha) of the protein. Furthermore, the 1-pyrene isoxazoline-installed annexin V acts as a fluorescent probe, which successfully labels the outer cellular membranes of human cholangiocarcinoma (HuCCA-1) cells for detection of apoptosis.

Abstract
The cell cycle is a complex process that involves DNA replication, protein expression, and cell division. Dysregulation of the cell cycle is associated with various diseases. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their corresponding cyclins are major proteins that regulate the cell cycle. In contrast to inhibition, a new approach called proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues can eliminate both enzymatic and scaffold functions of CDKs and cyclins, achieving targeted degradation. The field of PROTACs and molecular glues has developed rapidly in recent years. In this article, we aim to summarize the latest developments of CDKs and cyclin protein degraders. The selectivity, application, validation and the current state of each CDK degrader will be overviewed. Additionally, possible methods are discussed for the development of degraders for CDK members that still lack them. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive summary of the latest advancements in CDK and cyclin protein degraders, which will be helpful for researchers working on this topic.

Abstract
High-power screening (HPS) technologies, such as DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology, could exponentially increase the dimensions of the chemical space accessible for drug discovery. The intrinsic fragile nature of DNA is associated with cumbersome limitations and DNA durability (e.g., depurination, loss of phosphate groups, adduct formation) is compromised in numerous organic chemistry conditions that require empirical testing. An atlas of reaction conditions (temperature, pH, solvent/buffer, ligands, oxidizing reagents, catalysts, scavengers in function of time) that have been systematically tested in multiple combinations, indicates precisely limits useful for DEL construction. More importantly, this approach could be used broadly to effectively evaluate DNA-compatibility of any novel on-DNA chemical reaction, and it is compatible with different molecular methodologies. This atlas and the general approach presented, by allowing novel reaction conditions to be performed in presence of DNA, should greatly help in expanding the DEL chemical space as well as any field involving DNA durability.

Abstract
The DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) is a powerful hit selection technique in either basic science or innovative drug discovery. With the aim to circumvent the issue concerning DNA barcode damage in a conventional on-DNA copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), we have successfully developed the first DNA-compatible enolate-azide [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The merits of this DEL chemistry include metal-free reaction and high DNA fidelity, high conversions and easy operation, broad substrate scope, and ready access to the highly substituted 1,4,5-trisubstituted triazoles. Thus, it will not only further enrich the DEL chemistry toolbox but also will have great potential in practical DEL synthesis.

Abstract
Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) is a powerful strategy to prepare molecules with underrepresented features in commercial screening collections, resulting in the elucidation of novel biological mechanisms. In parallel to the development of DOS, DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) have emerged as an effective, efficient screening strategy to identify protein binders. Despite recent advancements in this field, most DEL syntheses are limited by the presence of sensitive DNA-based constructs. Here, we describe the design, synthesis, and validation experiments performed for a 3.7 million-member DEL, generated using diverse skeleton architectures with varying exit vectors and derived from DOS, to achieve structural diversity beyond what is possible by varying appendages alone. We also show screening results for three diverse protein targets. We will make this DEL available to the academic scientific community to increase access to novel structural features and accelerate early-phase drug discovery.

Abstract
We report an approach to the core of the manzamine alkaloid keramaphidin B that relies on the strain-promoted cycloaddition of an azacyclic allene with a pyrone trapping partner. The cycloaddition is tolerant of nitrile and primary amide functional groups and can be complemented with a subsequent retro-Diels-Alder step. These efforts demonstrate that strained cyclic allenes can be used to build significant structural complexity and should encourage further studies of these fleeting intermediates.

Abstract
Thiophene and its substituted derivatives are a highly important class of heterocyclic compounds, with noteworthy applications in pharmaceutical ingredients. In this study, we leverage the unique reactivity of alkynes to generate thiophenes on-DNA, using a cascade iodination, Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling and heterocyclization. This approach, tackling on-DNA thiophene synthesis for the first time, generates diverse, and unprecedented structural and chemical features, which could be significant motifs in DEL screening as molecular recognition agents for drug discovery.

Abstract
Herein we report a DNA-compatible Biginelli reaction to construct isocytosine scaffolds. This reaction utilizes a one-pot reaction of DNA-conjugated guanidines with aldehydes and methyl cyanoacetates to give isocytosine derivatives, and the method is well compatible with different types of substrates. This is the first report on the synthesis of an isocytosine backbone in the field of DNA-compatible organic synthesis. The successful development of this reaction can widen the chemical space of DELs.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes are a class of in situ-generated fleeting intermediates that, despite being discovered more than 50 years ago, has received significantly less attention from the synthetic community compared to related strained intermediates. Examples of trapping strained cyclic allenes that involve transition metal catalysis are especially rare. We report the first annulations of highly reactive cyclic allenes with in situ-generated π-allylpalladium species. By varying the ligand employed, either of two isomeric polycyclic scaffolds can be obtained with high selectivity. The products are heterocyclic and sp3-rich and bear two or three new stereocenters. This study should encourage the further development of fragment couplings that rely on transition metal catalysis and strained cyclic allenes for the rapid assembly of complex scaffolds.

Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) screens have significantly impacted new lead compound identification efforts within drug discovery. An advantage of DELs compared to traditional screening methods is that an exponentially broader chemical space can be effectively screened using only nmol quantities of billions of DNA-tagged, drug-like molecules. The synthesis of DELs containing diverse, sp3-rich spirocycles, an important class of molecules in drug discovery, has not been previously reported. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of complex and novel spirocyclic cores via an on-DNA, visible light-mediated intermolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of olefins with heterocycles, including indoles, azaindoles, benzofurans, and coumarins. The DNA-tagged exo-methylenecyclobutane substrates were prepared from easily accessible alkyl iodides and styrene derivatives. Broad reactivity with many other DNA-conjugated alkene substrates was observed, including unactivated and activated alkenes, and the process is tolerant of various heterocycles. The cycloaddition was successfully scaled from 10 to 100 nmol without diminished yield, indicative of this reaction's suitability for DNA-encoded library production. Evaluation of DNA compatibility with the developed reaction in a mock-library format showed that the DNA barcode was maintained with high fidelity, with <1% mutated sequences and >99% amplifiable DNA from quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next generation sequencing (NGS).

Abstract
Small rings that contain allenes are unconventional transient compounds that have been known since the 1960s. Despite being discovered around the same time as benzyne and offering a number of synthetically advantageous features, strained cyclic allenes have seen relatively little use in chemical synthesis. We report a concise total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid lissodendoric acid A, which hinges on the development of a regioselective, diastereoselective, and stereospecific trapping of a fleeting cyclic allene intermediate. This key step swiftly assembles the azadecalin framework of the natural product, allows for a succinct synthetic endgame, and enables a 12-step total synthesis (longest linear sequence; 0.8% overall yield). These studies demonstrate that strained cyclic allenes are versatile building blocks in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A successful DNA-encoded library (DEL) will consist of diverse skeletons and cover chemical space as comprehensive as possible to fully realize its potential in drug discovery and chemical biology. However, the lack of versatile on-DNA arylation methods for phenols that are less nucleophilic and reactive poses a great hurdle for DEL to include diaryl ether, a privileged chemotype in pharmaceuticals and natural products. This work describes the use of "substrate activation" approach to address the arylation of DNA-conjugated phenols. Diaryliodonium salt, a highly electrophilic and reactive arylation reagent, is employed as Ar+ sources to ensure highly selective on-DNA arylation of phenols and oximes with both high yields and DNA fidelity. Notably, the new on-DNA arylation reaction can be applied to the late-stage modification of peptides containing tyrosine side-chain and to synthesize DNA-tagged analogues of existing drug molecules such as sorafenib, a known pan-kinase inhibitor. The new on-DNA diaryliodonium salts chemistry affords a greater flexibility in DEL design and synthesis.

Abstract
Inspired by diversity-oriented synthesis, we have developed a series of DNA-compatible transformations utilizing on-DNA vinyl azide as a synthon to forge divergent N-heterocyclic scaffolds. Polysubstituted imidazoles and isoquinolines were efficiently obtained with moderate-to-excellent conversions. Besides, the "one-pot" strategy to prepare in-house on-DNA vinyl azides afforded synthons readily. Results from substrate scope exploration and enzymatic ligation further demonstrate the feasibility of these N-heterocycle syntheses in DNA-encoded chemical library construction.

Abstract
Benzoheterocyclics have been widely adopted as drug-like core scaffolds that can be incorporated into DNA-encoded chemical library technology for high-throughput hit discovery. Here, we present a visible light-promoted divergent synthesis of on-DNA benzoheterocycles from aldehydes. Four types of DNA-conjugated benzoheterocyclics were obtained under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope. A cross substrate scope study, together with enzymatic ligation and subsequent chemical diversifications, were conducted, demonstrating the feasibility of this approach in DNA-encoded chemical library construction.

Abstract
DNA‐encoded library (DEL) technology has become widely used in drug discovery research. The construction of DELs requires robust organic transformations that proceed in aqueous media under mild conditions. Unfortunately, the application of water as reaction medium for organic synthesis is not evident due to the generally limited solubility of organic reagents. However, the use of surfactants can offer a solution to this issue. Oil‐in‐water microemulsions formed by surfactant micelles are able to localize hydrophobic reagents inside them, resulting in high local concentrations of the organic substances in an otherwise poorly solvated environment. This review provides a conceptual and critical summary of micellar synthesis possibilities that are well suited to DEL synthesis. Existing examples of micellar DEL approaches, together with a selection of micellar organic transformations fundamentally suitable for DEL are discussed.

Abstract
Indole-based diversification is highly desired in the DNA-encoded chemical library construction. Herein, we present a general strategy for on-DNA synthesis of diverse C3-functionalized indole derivatives via indole π-activated alcohol formation followed by direct dehydrative coupling. Highly efficient bond linkages of C-C, C-N, and C-S were achieved to fuse building blocks that are widely commercially available. DNA-encoding compatibility of the method has been further demonstrated to pave an avenue for application in constructing indole-focused three-dimensional libraries.

Abstract
AbstractFor a long time, allenes—and cumulenic systems in general—played a relatively minor role in Diels–Alder cycloadditions. This situation has changed, since allenes are more readily available and as their unique stereochemical features in [4+2]cycloadditions are more widely recognized. This review presents a comprehensive overview of allenes in Diels–Alder processes using selected examples. Allenes in dienes, dienophiles and cycloadducts are covered, inter- and intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloadditions are discussed, and stereochemical features of the addition process are described. Areas of emerging importance are also covered, including allenic components in dehydro-Diels–Alder processes, and dendralenic allenes in Diels–Alder sequences for the rapid generation of target-relevant molecular complexity. Preparatively useful methods for allenic precursor synthesis are also discussed.1 Introduction2 Allenic Dienes2.1 Vinylallenes2.2 Bisallenes2.3 Cross-conjugated Allenes3 Allenic Dienophiles4 Intramolecular Diels–Alder Cycloadditions5 Allenic Cycloadducts6 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract
As a powerful platform in drug discovery, the DNA-encoded chemical library technique enables the generation of numerous chemical members with high structural diversity. Epoxides widely exist in a variety of approved drugs and clinical candidates, eliciting multiple pharmaceutical activities. Herein, we report a non-oxidative DNA-compatible synthesis of di-/trisubstituted α,β-epoxyketones by implementing aldehydes and α-chlorinated ketones as abundant building blocks. This methodology was demonstrated to cover a broad substrate scope with medium-to-excellent conversions. Further structural diversification and transformation were also successfully explored to fully leverage α,β-epoxyketone moiety.

Abstract
Transient strained cyclic intermediates, such as strained cyclic allenes, are useful building blocks for the synthesis of structurally and stereochemically complex scaffolds. Trappings of strained cyclic allenes are thought to occur primarily through either two or one electron processes. Regarding the latter, diradical intermediates have been invoked in (2 + 2) cycloadditions and (3 + 2) nitrone cycloadditions. The present study questions if a monoradical pathway could exist for strained cyclic allene reactivity, as examined in the reaction of 1,2-cyclohexadiene and TEMPO radical. Our findings suggest the viability of this monoradical pathway.

Abstract
The global rise of multidrug resistant infections poses an imminent, existential threat. Numerous pipelines have failed to convert biochemically active molecules into bona fide antibacterials, owing to a lack of chemical material with antibacterial-like physical properties in high-throughput screening compound libraries. Here, we demonstrate scalable design and synthesis of an antibacterial-like solid-phase DNA-encoded library (DEL, 7488 members) and facile hit deconvolution from whole-cell Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cytotoxicity screens. The screen output identified two low-micromolar inhibitors of B. subtilis growth and recapitulated known structure-activity relationships of the fluoroquinolone antibacterial class. This phenotypic DEL screening strategy is also potentially applicable to adherent cells and will broadly enable the discovery and optimization of cell-active molecules.

Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology provided a powerful screening platform for identifying potential bioactive small molecules with high affinity to biologically interesting targets. Essential to a successful DEL campaign are the drug-like small molecular moieties of DNA-encoded libraries with expanded chemical space. Our laboratory has been working on developing and producing novel DNA-encoded libraries that complement current reported DELs. Herein, we demonstrated a general set of DNA-compatible reactions that enable the preparation of pyrrole-based DNA-encoded libraries in which the DNA tags are linked to the N position of the pyrrole central core. Further diversification could be rapidly incorporated into the pyrrole scaffold by robust iodination and Suzuki coupling reactions.

Abstract
Over the past decade, DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) have emerged as a leading platform for small molecule drug discovery among pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies and academic drug hunters alike. This revolutionary technology has tremendous potential that is yet to be fully realized, as the exploration of therapeutically relevant chemical space is fueled by the ever-expanding repertoire of DNA-compatible reactions used to construct the libraries. Advances in direct coupling reactions, like photo-catalytic cross couplings, unique cyclizations such as the formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, and new functional group transformations are valuable contributions to the DEL reaction toolkit, and indicate where future reaction development efforts should focus in order to maximize the productivity of DELs.

Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology is a powerful tool in the discovery of bioactive probe molecules and drug leads. Mostly, the success in DEL technology stems from the molecular diversity of the chemical libraries. However, the construction of DELs has been restricted by the idiosyncratic needs and the required low concentration (∼1 mM or less) of the library intermediate. Here, we report visible-light-promoted on-DNA radical coupling reactions via an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex and a reversible adsorption to solid support (RASS) strategy. This protocol provides a unique solution to the challenges of increasing the reactivity of highly diluted DNA substrates and reducing the residues of heavy metals from photocatalysts. A series of on-DNA indole sulfone and selenide derivatives were obtained with good to quantitative conversions. It is anticipated that these mild-condition on-DNA radical reactions will significantly improve the chemical diversity of DELs and find widespread utility to DEL construction.

Abstract
DNA‐encoded compound libraries are a widely used small molecule screening technology. One important aim in library design is the coverage of chemical space through structurally diverse molecules. Yet, the chemical reactivity of native DNA barcodes limits the toolbox of reactions for library design. Substituting the chemically vulnerable purines by 7‐deazaadenine, which exhibits tautomerization stability similar to natural adenine with respect to the formation of stable Watson–Crick pairs, yielded ligation‐competent, amplifiable, and readable DNA barcodes for encoded chemistry with enhanced stability against protic acid‐ and metal ion‐promoted depurination. The barcode stability allowed for straightforward translation of 16 exemplary reactions that included isocyanide multicomponent reactions, acid‐promoted Pictet–Spengler and Biginelli reactions, and metal‐promoted pyrazole syntheses on controlled pore glass‐coupled barcodes for diverse DEL design. The Boc protective group of reaction products offered a convenient handle for encoded compound purification.

Abstract
Arynes, strained cyclic alkynes, and strained cyclic allenes were validated as plausible intermediates in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite initially being considered mere scientific curiosities, these transient and highly reactive species have now become valuable synthetic building blocks. This Perspective highlights recent advances in the field that have allowed access to structural and stereochemical complexity, including recent breakthroughs in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
We report Pd-catalyzed annulations of in situ generated strained cyclic allenes. This methodology employs aryl halides and cyclic allene precursors as the reaction partners in order to generate fused heterocyclic products. The annulation proceeds via the formation of two new bonds and an sp3 center. Moreover, both diastereo- and enantioselective variants of this methodology are validated, with the latter ultimately enabling the rapid enantioselective synthesis of a complex hexacyclic product. Studies leveraging transition metal catalysis to intercept cyclic allenes represent a departure from the more common, historical modes of cyclic allene trapping that rely on nucleophiles or cycloaddition partners. As such, this study is expected to fuel the development of reactions that strategically merge transition metal catalysis and transient strained intermediate chemistry for the synthesis of complex scaffolds.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes, first discovered in 1966 by Wittig and co-workers, have recently emerged as valuable synthetic building blocks. Previous experimental investigations, and computations reported here, demonstrate that the Diels-Alder reactions of furans and pyrroles with 1,2-cyclohexadiene and oxa- and azaheterocyclic analogs proceed with endo selectivity. This endo selectivity gives the adduct with the allylic saturated carbon of the cyclic allene endo to the diene carbons. The selectivity is very general and useful in synthetic applications. Our computational study establishes the origins of this endo selectivity. We analyze the helical frontier molecular orbitals of strained cyclic allenes and show how secondary orbital and electrostatic effects influence stereoselectivity. The LUMO of carbon-3 of the allene (C-3 is not involved in primary orbital interactions) interacts in a stabilizing fashion with the HOMO of the diene in such a way that the carbon of the cyclic allene attached to C-1 favors the endo position in the transition state. The furan LUMO, allene HOMO interaction reinforces this preference. These mechanistic studies are expected to prompt the further use of long-avoided strained cyclic allenes in chemical synthesis.
