  • Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions for the Synthesis of Heterocycles
    Review Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions for the Synthesis of Heterocycles András Váradi, Travis C. Palmer, Rebecca Notis Dardashti and Susruta Majumdar * Received: 10 October 2015 ; Accepted: 17 December 2015 ; Published: 23 December 2015 Academic Editor: Romano V. A. Orru Department of Neurology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10065, USA; [email protected] (A.V.); [email protected] (T.C.P.); [email protected] (R.N.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-646-888-3669 Abstract: 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 the reactive nitrilium ion, the key intermediate formed in the reaction of the imine and the isocyanide. However, when reactants with multiple nucleophilic groups (bisfunctional reactants) are used in the MCR, the nitrilium intermediate can be trapped by an intramolecular nucleophilic attack to form various heterocycles. The implications of nitrilium trapping along with widely applied conventional isocyanide-based MCRs in drug design are discussed in this review. Keywords: Ugi reaction; heterocycles; nitrilium trapping 1. Introduction Multicomponent reactions are powerful tools for the rapid generation of molecular diversity and complexity. In a typical multicomponent process, more than two components are combined in a single reaction, thereby providing an operationally effective and highly modular approach towards the synthesis of structurally diverse molecular entities. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) represent an excellent tool for the generation of libraries of small-molecule compounds and are indispensable for structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies.

    Versatile routes to functional RAFT chain transfer agents through the Passerini multicomponent reaction. Amanda K.

The widespread adoption of RAFT polymerization stems partly from the ease and utility of installing a functional chain transfer agent onto the ends of the generated polymer chains. In parallel, the Passerini multicomponent reaction offers great versatility in converting a wide range of easily accessible building blocks to functional ma- terials. In this work, we have combined the two approaches such that a single, commonly-available, RAFT agent is used in Passerini reactions to generate a variety of multi-functional RAFT chain transfer agents containing ester linkages. Reactions to generate the multi-functional RAFT agents took place under mild conditions and in good yields. The resulting Passerini-RAFT agents were able to exert control over radical polymerization to gen- erate materials of well-defined molecular weights and dispersity. Furthermore, the presence in these polymer cores of ester and amide functionality through the Passerini chemistries, provided regions in the materials which are inherently biodegradable, facilitating any subsequent biomedical applications.

CORRESPONDING AUTHOR FOOTNOTE: E-mail: [email protected]; Phone: (+) 33 4 72 72 81 54; Fax: (+) 33 4 72 72 88 60 ABSTRACT: The Ugi reaction is one of the most famous multicomponent couplings and its efficiency is still explained by the original mechanism suggested by Ugi in the 60’s. This article aims to present a thorough theoretical study of this reaction. It describes how the imine is activated, how the new stereogenic center is formed and rejects some of the commonly accepted features such as the reversibility of intermediate steps. KEYWORDS: density functional calculations; multicomponent reaction; mechanism; Ugi reaction. 1 Introduction Multicomponent reactions (MCR) are processes in which three or more reactants are coupled at the same time to form one product including most of the atoms of the starting materials.1 The development of combinatorial chemistry in the late 1980’s revealed their tremendous potential and led to a renewal of the field.2 In this context, isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions play a prominent role due to the efficiency of the Ugi coupling (see Scheme 1).1,3 This reaction consists in the condensation of an amine, an aldehyde, an isocyanide and a carboxylic acid to form peptidic derivatives.

  • Multicomponent Reactions Are Accelerated in Water Michael C

Pirrung* and Koushik Das Sarma Department of Chemistry, LeVine Science Research Center, Duke UniVersity, Durham, North Carolina, 27708 Received September 18, 2003; E-mail: [email protected] The use of water as a solvent for organic transformations offers Scheme 1. Multicomponent Reactions Accelerated in Water several “green chemistry” benefits.1 In many reactions, such as the Diels-Alder cycloaddition,2 significant rate enhancements are observed in water compared to organic solvents. This acceleration has been attributed to many factors, including the hydrophobic effect,3 enhanced hydrogen bonding in the transition state,4 and the high cohesive energy density of water (550.2 cal‚mL-1 at 25 °C).5 The Diels-Alder reaction is also known for its negative activation volume, owing to a transition state that is more compact than reactants. Reactions with negative activation volumes are acceler- ated at high pressure and, with nonpolar reactants, in water.6 The multicomponent reactions important in combinatorial chem- istry7 are predicted to exhibit negative activation volumes owing to the condensation of several molecules into a single reactive intermediate and product. Promotion of the Passerini8 and the Ugi9 reactions at high pressure provides further support for this idea and suggests they could be accelerated in water. Although aqueous/ organic solvent mixtures have been used in multicomponent reactions, they are not expected to show the same rate effects as for pure water as solvent. The influence of water on the rates of the Ugi or Passerini reactions has not been earlier examined.10 In organic solvent, the Passerini reaction is first order in each reactant and is believed to involve preequilibrium formation of an isonitrile- Table 1.

Published: 18 November 2019 Abstract: A series of six new alkyne-2-chloroquinolines were synthesized in moderate yields (40%– 65%) via the Passerini three-component reaction (P-3CR) under mild green conditions. The P-3CR takes place when a carboxylic acid, an oxo compound (aldehyde or ketone), and an isocyanide react to give α-acyloxy carboxamides. Recently it has been reported that small molecules containing alkynes promote interactions with different proteins in cells facilitating the detection or identification of protein targets. Keywords: multicomponent reactions; Passerini reaction; 2-chloroquinolin-3-carboxaldehyde; alkynes 1. Introduction Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are well established as a powerful tool for the rapid construction of novel, complex, and structurally diverse compounds from relatively simple or commercially available starting materials [1]. High atom economy, chemical efficiency, and convergence and very high bond-forming-index are typical features of such one-pot processes with at least three different starting materials. In particular, isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) have become an emerging field of interest in the last decade and there has recently been a focus toward the construction of heterocycles and polyheterocycles via MCRs [2,3].
