Rearrangements in the Scholl reaction have traditionally been serendipitous, lacking a systematic approach for synthesizing rearranged and cyclized products. This paper introduces a strategic pathway to achieve rearranged-cyclized thienotetrahelicene derivatives over direct-cyclized chrysenothiophene derivatives by finely modifying the reaction conditions and tuning the electronic properties in Scholl-type reaction precursors, tetraarylthiophenes. Through careful design principles, we demonstrate the programmable synthesis of these distinct products.

: The dual forces of structured inquiry and serendipitous discovery have long shaped neuropsychiatric research, with groundbreaking treatments such as lithium and ketamine resulting from unexpected discoveries. However, relying on chance is becoming increasingly insufficient to address the rising prevalence of mental health disorders like depression and schizophrenia, which necessitate precise, innovative approaches. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, induced pluripotent stem cells, and multi-omics have the potential to transform this field by allowing for predictive, patient-specific interventions.

Natural product total synthesis has trailblazed in the era of multistep synthesis. The strategic application of existing synthetic methodologies and the stepwise construction that revolves around newly developed, tailored key steps, are two basic tactics in the principle of classic retrosynthetic analysis. However, a new synthetic model, termed self-organized total synthesis, has emerged in recent years, enabling the rapid creation of specific natural products by a one-pot reaction.

Polypharmacological drugs are of great value for treating complex human diseases by the combinative modulation of several biological targets. However, multitarget drug design with more than two targets is challenging and generally discovered by serendipity. Herein, a restricted fragment docking (RFD) computational method combined with a phenotypic discovery approach was developed for rational polypharmacological drug design.
