Abstract
Indole alkaloids are one of the largest alkaloid classes, proving valuable structural moiety in pharmaceuticals. Although methods for the synthesis of indole alkaloids are constantly explored, the direct single-step synthesis of these chemical entities with broad structural diversity remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a modular assembly of tetrahydrocarboline type of indole alkaloids from simple building blocks in a single step while showing broad compatibility with medicinally relevant functionality. In this protocol, the 2-alkylated or 3-alkylated indoles, formaldehyde, and amine hydrochlorides could undergo a one-pot reaction to deliver γ-tetrahydrocarbolines or β-tetrahydrocarbolines directly. A wide scope of these readily available starting materials is applicable in this process, and numerous structural divergent tetrahydrocarbolines could be achieved rapidly. The control reaction and deuterium-labelling reaction are conducted to probe the mechanism. And mechanistically, this multicomponent reaction relies on a multiple alkylamination cascade wherein an unusual C(sp3)-C(sp3) connection was involved in this process. This method could render rapid access to pharmaceutically interesting compounds, greatly enlarge the indole alkaloid library and accelerate the lead compound optimization thus facilitating drug discovery.

Abstract
In this work, D-(-)-α-phenylglycine (APG)-functionalized magnetic nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2@PTS-APG) was designed and successfully prepared in order to implement the principles of green chemistry for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline (PHQ) and 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives under ultrasonic irradiation in EtOH. After preparing of the nanocatalyst, its structure was confirmed by different spectroscopic methods or techniques including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The performance of Fe3O4@SiO2@PTS-APG nanomaterial, as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Hantzsch condensation, was examined under ultrasonic irradiation and various conditions. The yield of products was controlled under various conditions to reach more than 84% in just 10 min, which indicates the high performance of the nanocatalyst along with the synergistic effect of ultrasonic irradiation. The structure of the products was identified by melting point as well as FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopic methods. The Fe3O4@SiO2@PTS-APG nanocatalyst is easily prepared from commercially available, lower toxic and thermally stable precursors through a cost-effective, highly efficient and environmentally friendly procedure. The advantages of this method include simplicity of the operation, reaction under mild conditions, the use of an environmentally benign irradiation source, obtaining pure products with high efficiency in short reaction times without using a tedious path, which all of them address important green chemistry principles. Finally, a reasonable mechanism is proposed for the preparation of polyhydroquinoline (PHQ) and 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives in the presence of Fe3O4@SiO2@PTS-APG bifunctional magnetic nanocatalyst.

Fabrication of stable solid fluorescent starch materials based on Hantzsch reaction. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 314:120811.

Abstract
In this paper, a series of fluorescent starches were prepared simply and effectively by Hantzsch multi-component reaction (MRC). These materials showed bright fluorescence emission. Notably, due to the existence of polysaccharide skeleton, starch molecules can effectively inhibit the common aggregation induced quenching effect caused by the aggregation of conjugated molecules in traditional organic fluorescent materials. Meanwhile, the stability of this material is so excellent that the fluorescence emission of the dried starch derivatives would not destroy after boiling at a high temperature in some common solvents, and even brighter fluorescence can be stimulated in alkaline solution. In addition to fluorescence, starch was also endowed with hydrophobic property by one-pot method connecting long alkyl chains. Compared with native starch, the contact angle of fluorescent hydrophobic starch increased from 29° to 134°. Furthermore, the fluorescent starch can be prepared into film, gel and coating by different processing methods. The preparation of these Hantzsch fluorescent starch materials provide a new way for the functional modification of starch materials and has great application potential in detecting, anti-counterfeiting, security printing and other related fields.

Abstract
The development of high quality magnetic self-healing hydrogels containing well-dispersed magnetic nanoparticle has been a challenging procedure due to unavailable methods of facilely introducing groups that can efficiently stabilize these magnetic nanoparticles in the self-healing hydrogels. In this research, a polymer containing both phenylboronic acid (PBA) and phosphonic acid (PA) groups has been developed by the Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction. This polymer well disperses iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) through the strong interactions between the PA groups and the surface of the IONPs; thus, this polymer effectively mixed IONPs and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to form a hydrogel containing well-dispersed IONPs. The resulting hydrogel is self-healing, owing to the dynamic borate ester linkages. Moreover, the presence of the IONPs endowed the hydrogel with magnetic properties, also making it heat-responsive in an alternating magnetic field and expanding its application as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. The magnetic self-healing hydrogel showed excellent biosafety properties in animal experiments, suggesting its potential as an injectable implant material for biological and medical applications. This research exploits a biocompatible magnetic self-healing hydrogel with well-dispersed IONPs, demonstrating the value of the KF reaction in the development of functional polymers and smart materials, which might prompt a broad study of multicomponent reactions in interdisciplinary fields.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to copolymerize 3-(4-acetylphenylcarbamoyl) acrylic acid and styrene using azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a catalyst. The resulting copolymers exhibited number average molecular weights (Mn) of 3.73-5.23 × 104 g/mol with a variable polydispersity (PDI = 2.3-3.8). The amide group of the PMA/PSA polymer was used for grafting poly (-styrene-maleic acid substituted aromatic 2-aminopyridine) by the Hantzsch reaction using a substituted aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate. The polymer can emit strong blue fluorescence (λ = 510 nm) and its thermal stability and solubility were enhanced by polymer grafting. Moreover, the polymer showed the fluorescence spectra of the copolymer had a strong, broad emission band between 300 to 550 nm (maximum wavelength 538 nm) under excitation at 293 nm. The Hantzsch reaction yields an interesting class of nitrogen-based heterocycles that combine with a synthetic strategy for synthesis of grafted co-polymer pyridine-styrene derivatives. The as-prepared pyridine-based polymer compounds were screened against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, where a maximum inhibition zone toward all four types of bacteria was observed, including specific antifungal activity. Herein, a series of pyridine compounds were synthesized that showed enhanced fluorescent properties and antimicrobial properties due to their unique structure and ability to form polymer assemblies.

Abstract
As the core of polymer chemistry, manufacture of functional polymers is one of research hotspots over the past several decades. Various polymers are developed for diverse applications due to their tunable structures and unique properties. However, traditional step-by-step preparation strategies inevitably involve some problems, such as separation, purification, and time-consuming. The multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are emerging as environmentally benign synthetic strategies to construct multifunctional polymers or composites with pendant groups and designed structures because of their features, such as efficient, fast, green, and atom economy. This mini review summarizes the latest advances about fabrication of multifunctional fluorescent polymers or adsorptive polymeric composites through different MCRs, including Kabachnik-Fields reaction, Biginelli reaction, mercaptoacetic acid locking imine reaction, Debus-Radziszewski reaction, and Mannich reaction. The potential applications of these polymeric composites in biomedical and environmental remediation are also highlighted. It is expected that this mini-review will promote the development preparation and applications of functional polymers through MCRs.

Abstract
Providing access to highly diverse polymer structures by multicomponent reactions is highly desirable; efficient Meldrum's acid-based multicomponent reactions, however, have been rarely highlighted in polymer chemistry. Here, the three-component reaction of Meldrum's acid, indole, and aldehyde is introduced into polymer synthesis. Direct multicomponent polymerization of Meldrum's acid, dialdehyde, and diindole can perform under mild conditions, resulting in complex Meldrum's acid-containing polymers with well-defined structures, and high molecular weights. Additionally, nearly quantitative postpolymerization modification can also perform via this Meldrum's acid-based multicomponent reaction. These results indicate that Meldrum's acid-based multicomponent reaction will be a potential tool to prepare novel polymers.

Abstract
Radioprotectors for acute injuries caused by large doses of ionizing radiation are vital to national security, public health and future development of humankind. Here, we develop a strategy to explore safe and efficient radioprotectors by combining Hantzsch's reaction, high-throughput methods and polymer chemistry. A water-soluble polymer with low-cytotoxicity and an excellent anti-radiation capability has been achieved. In in vivo experiments, this polymer is even better than amifostine, which is the only approved radioprotector for clinical applications, in effectively protecting zebrafish embryos from fatally large doses of ionizing radiation (80 Gy X-ray). A mechanistic study also reveals that the radioprotective ability of this polymer originates from its ability to efficiently prevent DNA damage due to high doses of radiation. This is an initial attempt to explore polymer radioprotectors via a multi-component reaction. It allows exploiting functional polymers and provides the underlying insights to guide the design of radioprotective polymers.

Abstract
Herein, a concise overview of the use of heavier main group elements in multicomponent reactions and their use in polymer chemistry is provided. Incorporating heavier elements into macromolecular structures via multicomponent reactions allows for the rapid development of materials with unique properties that are not readily achieved using carbon, nitrogen, and/or oxygen. Elements in Group 13, Group 14, Group 15, and Group 16 are specifically covered examining both the familiar and unfamiliar properties of these elements and how they are used in multicomponent chemistry. Furthermore, elements that both take part in the reaction mechanism and remain in the macromolecular structure upon completion are only briefly explored. Some of the state-of-the-art work going into developing these heavier element multicomponent reactions are highlighted and it is hoped to inspire other polymer chemists to explore other parts of the periodic table.

Abstract
Small molecular antioxidants are almost ineffective in regulating harmful oxidative stress in vivo because of their poor bioavailability. Polymer antioxidants are a promising alternative to address this issue, but their laborious synthetic routes limit their development. In this study, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are used to synthesize a family of polymers containing different α-aminophosphonate pendant groups via a facile one-pot method that combines the Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction and free radical polymerization. The structure-property relationship study of these polymers reveals the KF moieties in polymer structures confer radical scavenging ability on polymers. The radical scavenging ability and cytotoxicity of these polymers are evaluated in a stepwise manner to identify a biocompatible polymer antioxidant that can effectively protect the cells from H2 O2 -induced oxidative damage. This is the first attempt to develop antioxidative polymers by the KF reaction. It highlights the feasibility of synthesizing new functional polymers using multicomponent reactions, which has important implications for organic and polymer chemistry.

Abstract
We developed a polymer-drug strategy to explore anticancer polymers. A series of monomers containing groups with potential anticancer activity have been facilely prepared through the Biginelli reaction. These monomers were used to produce water-soluble polymers through convenient radical copolymerization. The resulting polymers are biocompatible and can be directly used to suppress proliferation of different cancer cells without the release of small molecules. Theoretical calculations revealed that Biginelli groups in polymers had strong interaction with the Eg5 protein, which is highly expressed in cancer cells and is closely related to cell mitosis. Subsequent cell experiments confirmed that a screened polymer is efficient in inhibiting mitosis in different cancer cells. Our study of exploring functional polymers via the combination of multicomponent reactions and theoretical calculation resulted in promising anticancer polymers, which might pave a path for de novo designing of functional polymers and have important implications in the fields of organic, computational, and polymer chemistry.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon bond formation through polarity reversal ketyl radical anion coupling of carbonyls has inspired new reaction modes to this cornerstone carbonyl group and played significant roles in organic chemistry. The introduction of this resplendent polarity reversal ketyl strategy into polymer chemistry will inspire new polymerization mode with unpredicted discoveries. Here we show the successful introduction of polarity reversal ketyl approach to polymer chemistry to realize self-condensing ketyl polymerization with polymerization-induced emission. In this polarity reversal approach, it exhibits intriguing reversed polymerizability, where traditional excellent leaving groups are not suitable for polymerization but challenging polymerizations involving the cleavage of challenging C-F and C-CF3 bonds are realized under mild Barbier conditions. This polarity reversal approach enables the polymer chemistry with polarity reversal ketyl mode, opens up a new avenue toward the polymerization of challenging C-X bonds under mild conditions, and sparks design inspiration of new reaction, polymerization, and functional polymer.

The Introduction of the Radical Cascade Reaction into Polymer Chemistry: A One-Step Strategy for Synchronized Polymerization and Modification. iScience 2020; 23:100902. [PMID: 32106054 PMCID: PMC7044516 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2020.100902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymerization and modification play central roles in polymer chemistry and are generally implemented in two steps, which suffer from the time-consuming two-step strategy and present considerable challenge for complete modification. By introducing the radical cascade reaction (RCR) into polymer chemistry, a one-step strategy is demonstrated to achieve synchronized polymerization and complete modification in situ. Attributed to the cascade feature of iron-catalyzed three-component alkene carboazidation RCR exhibiting carbon-carbon bond formation and carbon-azide bond formation with extremely high efficiency and selectivity in one step, radical cascade polymerization therefore enables the in situ synchronized polymerization through continuous carbon-carbon bond formation and complete modification through carbon-azide bond formation simultaneously. This results in a series of α, β, and γ poly(amino acid) precursors. This result not only expands the methodology library of polymerization, but also the possibility for polymer science to achieve functional polymers with tailored chemical functionality from in situ polymerization.

Abstract
In this paper, an antioxidant self-healing hydrogel has been prepared. The Biginelli reaction was used to prepare a monomer containing phenylboronic acid (PBA) and 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (DHPM) groups. This PBA-DHPM monomer was copolymerized with poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether) methacrylate (PEGMA) to produce a water-soluble copolymer via radical polymerization. The resulting copolymer quickly crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through borate ester bonds to generate a self-healing hydrogel under mild conditions (pH ∼ 7.4, 25 °C). The prepared hydrogel showed an inherent antioxidant ability because of the DHPM moieties in the hydrogel structure. It also showed no cytotoxicity, and in an in vivo mouse model the hydrogel injected under the skin of a mouse hardly caused any adverse reactions, suggesting that this hydrogel could be used as an implantable biomaterial. This first report of an antioxidant self-healing hydrogel demonstrates a new application of the Biginelli reaction in materials science, which might prompt a broad study of multicomponent reactions in interdisciplinary fields.

Abstract
The Hantzsch and free-radical polymerization reactions were combined in a one-pot high-throughput (HTP) system to simultaneously prepare 30 unique polymers in parallel. Six aldehydes derived from natural products were used as the starting materials to rapidly prepare the library of 30 poly(1,4-dihydropyridines). From this library, HTP evaluation methods led to the identification of an antibacterial polymer. Mechanistic studies revealed that the dihydropyridine group in the polymer side-chain structure plays an important role in resisting bacterial attachment to the polymer surface, thus leading to the antibacterial function of this polymer. This research demonstrates the value of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) in interdisciplinary fields by discovering functional polymers for possible practical applications. It also provides insights to further developing new functional polymers using MCRs and HTP methods with important implications in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and materials science.

Abstract
Interconnected macroporous imidazolium-based monoliths are produced via the modified Radziszewski multicomponent reaction (MCR) applied to triamines under high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) conditions. This straightforward one-pot synthesis combines the efficiency and versatility of MCRs with the ease of implementation of the emulsion templating polymerization process. The characterization of the chemical structure and morphology of the resulting materials confirms the formation of the expected macroporous poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) networks. The promising catalytic activity and recyclability of these porous PIL monoliths are illustrated for the transesterification reaction and the decarboxylation of caffeic acid. In these cases, almost complete conversion is reached while benefiting from the advantages associated with a heterogeneous catalyst.

Abstract
Due to their great modularity, ease of implementation, and atom economy, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are becoming increasingly popular macromolecular engineering tools. In this context, MCRs suitable in polymer synthesis are eagerly searched for. This work demonstrates the potential of the Ugi-three component reaction (Ugi-3CR) for the design of polymers and, in particular, of poly(α-amino amide)s. A series of polymers containing amino and amido groups within their backbone were obtained through a one-pot process by reacting aliphatic or aromatic diamines, diisocyanides, and aldehydes. The impact of temperature, concentration, catalyst loading, and substrates on polymerization efficiency is discussed. A preliminary study on the thermal properties and the solution behavior of these poly(α-amino amide)s was carried out. An aliphatic-rich derivative notably showed some pH-responsiveness in water via protonation-deprotonation of its amino groups.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) has been detected via the Hantzsch reaction for many decades. However, the Hantzsch reaction has been rarely used to detect FA in biological systems due to the disadvantages of small-molecule probes (including toxicity and poor water solubility). In this study, polymeric fluorescent probes were developed to resolve these issues associated with small molecules, and FA in living systems was successfully detected via the Hantzsch reaction. These water-soluble polymers were easily scaled-up (∼25 g) by radical polymerization using commercial monomers. These polymers exhibited similar, albeit better, sensitivity to FA compared to water-soluble small molecules, primarily indicative of the advantages of polymers for the detection of FA via the Hantzsch reaction. The polymer structures were highly biocompatible with the probes; thus, these polymers can effectively detect endogenous FA in cells or zebrafish in a safe manner. This result confirmed the superiority of polymers in safety as biocompatible materials. This study highlights a straightforward method for exploring probes for the detection of FA in living systems. It offers functional polymers for bioimaging and extends the application scope of the Hantzsch reaction, reflecting the utility of a broad study of organic reactions in interdisciplinary fields as well as possible key implications in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and polymer chemistry.

Abstract
The well-known Debus–Radziszewski reaction is over one century old. However, this reaction has only been considered very recently as a new tool to design original imidazole and imidazolium-containing polymers by direct formation of the imidazole ring during the polymerization process. This article reports recent advances concerning the use of this newly emerging reaction in macromolecular chemistry.
