3-Component reactions Multicomponent reaction

Copolymer composition can be predicted for copolymerizations with two or more components, such as those employing acrylonitrile plus a neutral monomer and an ionic dye receptor. These equations are derived by assuming that the component reactions involve only the terminal monomer unit of the chain radical. The theory of multicomponent polymerization kinetics has been treated (35,36). 

The use of microwave-assisted multicomponent cycloaddition reactions allows unique heterocyclic scaffolds to be assembled rapidly from readily accessible starting materials. The three-component reaction of M-alkyl-l,4-DHP... 

Another kind of combinatorial synthesis can be applied to reactions that assemble the product from several components in a single step, a multicomponent reaction. A particularly interesting four-component reaction is the Ugi reaction, which generates dipeptides from an isocyanide, an aldehyde, an amine, and a carboxylic acid. 

Other multicomponent reactions are exemplified in the following two schemes. A new highly diastereoselective four-component reaction was developed for the synthesis of dihydropyridones 191 substituted with an isocyanide functionality <06OL5369>, thereby generating a synthetically useful complex isocyanide for use in further reactions. In this strategy, a phosphonate, a nitrile, and an aldehyde are used to generate an azadiene intermediate 192, which is trapped by an isocyanoacetate in the same pot. 

A further neat example of multicomponent reactions in heterocyclic synthesis was reported by Ma et al. <06AG(E)7793>. They prepared the furan-fused 1,4-thiazepine 140 in good yield using the three components 137, 138, and 139 in the one reaction. A range of other furan-fused analogues with different substituent groups in the thiazepine ring were also synthesised. 

Another frequently used multicomponent reaction is the Kindler thioamide synthesis (the condensation of an aldehyde, an amine, and sulfur). The Kappe group has described a microwave-assisted protocol utilizing a diverse selection of 13 aldehyde and 12 amine precursors in the construction of a representative 34-member library of substituted thioamides (Scheme 6.114) [226]. The three-component con-... 

Multicomponent reactions, in which three or more components come together to form a single product, have been the subject of considerable interest for several years. Since most of these reactions tolerate a wide range of building block combinations, they are frequently applied for combinatorial purposes. 

Furthermore, multicomponent reactions can also be performed under fluorous-phase conditions, as shown for the Ugi four-component reaction [96], To improve the efficiency of a recently reported Ugi/de-Boc/cyclization strategy, Zhang and Tempest introduced a fluorous Boc group for amine protection and carried out the Ugi multicomponent condensation under microwave irradiation (Scheme 7.84). The desired fluorous condensation products were easily separated by fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE) and deprotected by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid/tet-rahydrofuran under microwave irradiation. The resulting quinoxalinones were purified by a second F-SPE to furnish the products in excellent purity. This methodology was also applied in a benzimidazole synthesis, employing benzoic acid as a substrate. 

Multicomponent reactions (MCR), in which three or more reactions combine to give a single product, have lately received much attention. The Ugi four-component condensation in which an amine, an aldehyde or ketone, a carboxylic acid, and an isocyanide combine to yield an ot-acylamino amide, is particularly interesting, because... 

Multicomponent reaction within a biofilm can be described by diffusion-reaction equations. A component mass balance is written for each segment and for each component, respectively, where... 

To fully use the advantages afforded by multicomponent reaction systems in solid-phase organic synthesis, strategies in which each component is immobilized on the resin must be devised. In this way, individual components can be explored in terms of diversity without the restrictions imposed by immobilization. We have described solid-phase Mannich reactions1 of a resin-bound alkyne (see chapter 5), and we show here that the diversity of products using this chemistry can be enhanced when a different component of the reaction system is immobilized. Specifically, a secondary amine, piperazine, is bound to a resin and then treated with... 

Multicomponent reaction systems are highly valued in solid-phase organic synthesis because several elements of diversity can be introduced in a single transformation.1 The Mannich reaction is a classic example of a three-component system in which an active hydrogen component, such as a terminal alkyne, undergoes condensation with the putative imine species formed from the condensation of an amine with an aldehyde.2 The resultant Mannich adducts contain at least three potential sites for diversification specifically, each individual component—the amine, aldehyde, and alkyne—can be varied in structure and thus provide an element of diversity. 

THE FOUR-COMPONENT REACTION AND OTHER MULTICOMPONENT REACTIONS OF THE ISOCYANIDES... 

Practically irreversible multicomponent reactions (MCRs), like the Ugi 4-component reaction (U-4CR), can usually fulfill aU essential aspects of green chemistry. Their products can be formed directly, requiring minimal work by just mixing three to nine educts. Often minimal amounts of solvents are needed, and almost quantitative yields of pure products are frequently formed. 

The multicomponent reactions have been widely used in solid and solution-phase chemistry during the last years. Multicomponent reaction strategies offer significant advantages compared with conventional liner type syntheses. Three or more reactants come together in a one pot reaction to form new products that contain portions of all the components [281]. There are several well-known multicomponent reactions that have been used in combinatorial chemistry.
