Abstract

We describe the synthesis of a range of novel dithiol-functionalized building blocks and demonstrate how they can be used to generate new structurally diverse dynamic combinatorial libraries. A proof-of-principle experiment using the catecholamine dopamine revealed that molecular recognition changed the library composition under biocompatible conditions and identified new promising candidate receptors of this biologically important neurotransmitter.
