This paper demonstrates the use of a highly convergent four-component, one-pot reaction for the synthesis of a new bicyclic tetrazole scaffold. Libraries in the 10,000-compound range could thus be generated.

Application of N-BOC-diamines for the solution phase synthesis of ketopiperazine libraries utilizing a Ugi/de-BOC/cyclisation (UDB) strategy. Tetrahedron Lett. 39:1998;8047-8050. Libraries with the scaffold of ketopiperazine, dihydroquinoxalinone and 1,4-benzodiazepine can be generated by using MCRs with appropriately protected building blocks. Thus, first the U-MCR takes place, the amide of the former isocyanide is protected with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) and deprotection of the substituents results in a heterocyclic structure. In this variation, only the isocyanide carbon is still present in the products. This procedure is particularly suitable for the generation of large libraries either in solutions, or in the solid phase.

Glycosylated peptides are ubiquitous in all living cells. They play important roles in processes such as cell-cell recognition, pathogen recognition, cell migration and immune response. In order to understand and modify these processes, there is a strong need for easy synthesis of glycosylated peptides and their libraries. In this article, the easy preparation of such compounds by MCRs, with the help of isocyanosugars, is described.
