Abstract

Sp3-rich compounds are underrepresented in libraries for probe- and drug-discovery, despite their promise of extending the range of accessible molecular shapes beyond planar geometries. With this in mind, a collection of single-enantiomer bicyclic, fused cyclopentenones underpinned by a complexity-generating Pauson-Khand cyclization was synthesized. A fingerprint of biological actions of these compounds was determined immediately after synthesis using real-time annotation-a process relying on multiplexed measurements of alterations in cell morphological features.
