Interest in multicomponent reactions (MCRs) has surged during the past two decades as interest in the efficient synthesis of small molecule libraries has gained prominence. MCRs fill an important niche in library synthesis by providing direct access to library compounds and by serving as starting points for Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS). Recent advances in the area of MCR chemistry have in...

a green and convenient method for the synthesis of 14-aryl-14h-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13-diones and spiro[dibenzo[a,i]-xanthene-14,3'-indoline]-2',8,13-triones in the presence of a catalytic amount of cellulose sulfuric acid (csa) as an efficient biopolymer-based catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 100 °c is described. the condensation reactions of β-naphtol, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dion...

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) are by far the most versatile reactions that can construct relatively complex molecules by one-pot synthesis. More importantly, the development of post IMCR modifications significantly improves the scaffold's diversity. Here, we describe the use of N-Boc protected hydrazine together with α-amino acid derived isocyanides in the Ugi tetrazole react...

A strategy for generating diverse collections of small molecules has been developed that features a multicomponent assembly process (MCAP) to efficiently construct a variety of intermediates possessing an aryl aminomethyl subunit. These key compounds are then transformed via selective ring-forming reactions into heterocyclic scaffolds, each of which possesses suitable functional handles for fur...

A miniaturised-SYNthesis and Total Analysis System (μSYNTAS) integrating a silicon-machined chemical microprocessor and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) is used for the generation of compound libraries based on sub-reactions of an Ugi multicomponent reaction (MCR). The microreactor—based on the concept of an AND logic operator—allowed the coupling of serially-switched solution-phase li...

Four-component reactions between amino alcohols, aldehydes, isocyanides and thiols proceed rapidly under microwave or conventional heating at 60 °C in methanol. The reaction is successful with a wide range of components and gives access to potentially drug-like products containing amine, amide and thioether functionality in moderate to excellent yield. The reaction conditions are also applicabl...

A lattice Boltzmann model is developed to simulate finite-rate catalytic surface chemistry. Diffusive wall boundary conditions are established to account for catalytic reactions in multicomponent mixtures. Implementation of wall boundary conditions with chemical reactions is based on a general second-order accurate interpolation scheme. Results of lattice Boltzmann simulations for a four-compon...

Multicomponent reactions involving polyfunctional 4-amino-5-carboxamido-1,2,3-triazole and cyclic carbonyl-containing CH-acids were studied under conventional thermal heating, microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The features of the reactions studied were discussed and the optimized procedures for the synthesis of final triazolopyrimidines were elaborated. In contrast to the similar MCRs of nu...

The use of domino and multicomponent reactions in asymmetric synthesis is constantly increasing nowadays. This allows for the synthesis of complex molecules in a single synthetic sequence, usually with high atom economy. Herein, we report three examples of new asymmetric tandem reactions recently developed in our laboratories, giving rise to new families of enantiomerically enriched fluorinated...
