Copper is widely present in the natural environment and inevitably poses a risk to both human health and the natural environment. Biochar is an inexpensive, clean and sustainable sorbent material that can be used as a resource for copper removal, and there is interest in new ways to chemically treat biochar to tune its unique properties and modify its atomic structure. In this study, biochar was oxidized, and then polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified chitosan and carboxylated biochar were economically compounded through a multicomponent Ugi reaction to effectively remove Cu(ii). PEI enhances the adsorption of Cu(ii) within an optimum solution pH range of 3.5-5.5. The adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. When the dosage of BC-NH2 was 4 g L and the temperature was 303 K, the maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model was 26.67 mg g. The adsorption process of Cu(ii) on BC-NH2 was heat-trapping and spontaneous. BC-NH2 showed good selectivity for K and Mg, and BC-NH2 desorbed by NaOH showed better adsorption performance than HSO in the adsorption-desorption cycle. Characterization by SEM, EDS, BET, FTIR, TGA and XPS showed successful coupling and that the amide group of BC-NH2 had chelated with Cu(ii). This atomically economical multicomponent Ugi reaction provides a new option for preparing composite materials that effectively remove heavy metals.

A series of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole-indole hybrids were synthesized via a high-order multicomponent reaction consisting of an Ugi-azide/Pd/Cu-catalyzed hetero-annulation cascade sequence. This operationally simple one-pot protocol allowed high bond-forming efficiency and creating six new bonds (two C-C, three C-N, and one N-N). Additionally, the products were evaluated against breast cancer MCF-7 cells, finding moderate activity in the compounds substituted with fluorine and chlorine.

In this work, we attempted to improve the properties of magnetite carboxymethyl cellulose nanoparticles (Mag CMC NPs) through Ugi multicomponent reaction (MCR) to obtain magnetite carboxymethyl cellulose@functionalized carboxamide nanoparticles (Mag CMC@FCA NPs) as a new nano bio-carrier. Typically, at first Mag CMC NPs prepared by the co-precipitation method. Then by performing the Ugi MCR on Mag CMC NPs, the Mag CMC@FCA NPs achieved better properties in swelling ratio, loading efficiency and loading capacity.

Spiro-heterocyclic indolenines are privileged scaffolds widely present in numerous indole alkaloids. Here, we develop a novel approach for the one-pot multistep synthesis of different spiro[indole-isoquinolines]. The protocol proposed involves the visible light mediated oxidation of -aryl tertiary amines using bromochloroform with the generation of a reactive iminium species, which reacts with an isocyanide and an electron-rich aniline in a three-component Ugi-type reaction to give an α-aminoamidine.

We report a new method to create enantioenriched azatricycles using chiral α-amino acids in a two-step process after an Ugi reaction. Amino acids are great building blocks for making pure chiral molecules. Using chiral natural molecules in multicomponent reactions (MCRs) helps increase their variety by adding new chiral centers.

A series of seven new -phenyl BODIPY-pyrrolo[3,4-]pyridin-5-one conjugates were synthesized in one experimental step by using a Sc(III)-catalyzed Ugi-Zhu three-component reaction coupled to a cascade sequence ( Diels-Alder/-acylation/aromatization) as post-MCR functionalization process. Further experimental studies were performed behind understanding the fluorescence response toward viscosity. All compounds exhibited a linear response between increasing viscosity (DMSO and glycerol mixtures) and fluorescence intensity.
