Abstract: The present invention provides a method of synthesizing a library of chemical compounds with skeletal diversity. Two approaches are used to create skeletal diversity within a library of chemical compounds: (1) the “branching pathways” (or reagent-based) approach; and (2) the “folding pathways” (or substrate-based) approach. Upon exposure to certain reaction conditions the members of the library undergo unique transformations into a diverse collection of molecular skeletons, which can be functionalized and derivatized further to generate a large collection of unique, natural product-like compounds. A furan-based library synthesized using the folding pathways approach is provided, and a polycyclic library created using the braching pathways approach is also provided. The invention also provides materials, reagents, intermediates, and kits useful in the practice of the inventive method as well as method for screening the inventive compounds.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods to facilitate the identification of compounds that are capable of interacting with a biological macromolecule of interest. In one aspect, a composition is provided that comprises an array of one or more types of chemical compounds attached to a solid support, wherein the density of the array of compounds is at least 1000 spots per cm2. In particularly preferred embodiments, these compounds are attached to the solid support through a covalent interaction.
