Various isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions prove to be highly reliable when ?-substituted ?-amino boronic esters are employed as the amine component, allowing efficient synthesis of unprecedented peptidomimetics and heteroatom-rich boron-containing small molecules. In particular, scope Ugi reaction is widely exploited, give a family enantiopure ?-amido boronates. The Ugi-azide van Leusen...

Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinone rings are a class of heterocycles present in wide range bioactive natural products and analogues thereof. As direct result their bioactivity, the synthesis this privileged compounds has been extensively studied. This review provides an overview these synthetic pathways. The literature is covered up until 2020 organized according to specific strategies used constr...

The tetrahydroquinolines obtained through the Povarov multicomponent reaction have been oxidized to the corresponding quinoline, giving access to a single product through a two-step sequence. Several oxidizing agents were studied and manganese dioxide proved to be the reagent of choice, affording higher yields, cleaner reactions and practical protocols.

Selenocysteine containing peptoids and peptide-peptoid conjugates were synthesized by combinatorial Ugi-MCRs (multicomponent reactions) in water: for the first time, an acetal (selenoacetal 2a) was used in Ugi-MCR to furnish selenocysteine peptoids in one step as model compounds for selenocysteine peptides and proteins.

Ring-opening of cyclic sulfamidates with propargylic sulfonamides yielded substrates for a gold-catalyzed cyclization to yield tetrahydropyrazines. Manipulation of the tetrahydropyrazines, by reduction or using multicomponent reactions, yielded piperazine scaffolds in which substitution of the carbon atoms was varied. Such scaffolds may have value in the synthesis of novel screening compounds w...

Ti-V-Nb-Cr alloys have been reported as potential candidates for hydrogen storage applications. Investigating the processes of absorption and desorption is paramount to understand properties these novel develop more efficient materials. In this work, we investigated absorption/desorption reactions (TiVNb)85Cr15 BCC multicomponent alloy by laboratory synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Pair Distribut...

Multicomponent reactions involving azines (4-methylpyridine, isoquinoline and N-methyl imidazole) and acetylenic ester were undertaken in the presence of CH compound such as 2-furoyl trifluoroacetone(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-thiophen-2-yl-butan-1,3-dione) to generate enaminoesters as stable 1,4-diionic compounds in high yields.

A highly diastereoselective tandem ring-enlargement and aldol condensation process involving multicomponent reactions of ethereal tricyclooxonium ylide intermediate with alcohols, mono- or dialdehydes in the presence of titanium(iv) isopropoxide is described to furnish alkoxyoctahydro-1,4-benzodioxocin-6(5H)-one ring systems.

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are extremely popular owing to their facile execution, high atom-efficiency and the high diversity of products. MCRs can be used to access various heterocycles and highly functionalized scaffolds, and thus have been invaluable tools in total synthesis, drug discovery and bioconjugation. Traditional isocyanide-based MCRs utilize an external nucleophile attacking t...
