Old multicomponent reactions are still a source of inspiration for discovering novel combinations of three or more reactants. A simple idea is to replace one of the educts of a known multicomponent reaction with another functional group and still be able to mimic the same reactivity. Following this line of thought, we report a three-component reaction in which isocyanides are able to open the epoxide intermediate of the Bargellini reaction affording 3-carboxamido-isobutyric acids in yields of 47-95%.

Despite its uniqueness, the Bargellini multicomponent reaction remains barely known by the most part of chemists. This can be ascribed to the fact that this transformation has not been adequately reviewed in the classic books of named reactions in organic chemistry. Nevertheless, several works on this reaction have been carried out over the years, many of them were written in Italian in the period 1929-1966.

Isocyanide-based consecutive Bargellini/Ugi multicomponent reactions as a combinatorial strategy have been developed for the synthesis of new class of pseudo-peptides. Via Bargellini reaction 3-carboxamido-isobutyric acids are prepared using acetone, chloroform, sodium hydroxide, and isocyanides. Then, using Ugi multicomponent reaction strategy, pseudo-peptides containing three amide bonds are synthesized using the Bargellini reaction product, aldehydes, amines, and isocyanides.

Background & Aims: The benefits of combined systemic and liver-directed treatments in inoperable intermediate- or advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have yet to be defined. This article presents the planned safety analyses for the first 40 patients randomized to radioembolization with yttrium-90 ((90) Y) resin microspheres followed by sorafenib (n = 20) or sorafenib only (n = 20) in the SORAMIC study.

Methods: Patients identified for palliative treatment who were poor candidates for transarterial (chemo)embolization (including those failing TACE) with preserved liver function (Child-Pugh ≤B7) and ECOG performance status <2 were screened.
