Wessjohann, L. A.; Filho, R. A. W. N.; Puentes, A. R.; Morejón, M. C.;Macrocycles from Multicomponent ReactionsMarsault, E. & Peterson, M. L., eds.339-376(2017)ISBN:978-1-11909-259-9DOI: 10.1002/9781119092599.ch14
Macrocyclizations may be performed through two main processes: single‐component reactions and multicomponent reactions (MCRs). This chapter discusses MCRs and details approaches where isonitrile‐based MCRs (IMCRs) were applied to accomplish the macrocyclization of long linear molecules. It also introduces some insights about general aspects, concepts, and classifications of IMCR‐based macrocyclizations. The chapter then focuses on the early development of this method and case studies, where it was applied to the synthesis of rationally designed macrocyclic molecules. It further covers a special topic on the use of multiple IMCR‐based macrocyclizations for synthesizing three‐dimensional structures. In the past, most studies were directed toward understanding the principles of using MCRs in macrocyclizations and to explore the scope of these reactions, especially of the valuable IMCRs. In the future, this will be extended to even more and different MCRs, which in themselves are only at the advent of being explored.

This chapter focuses on approaches where IMCRs were used in the macrocyclization step itself. In contrast to the conventional approach, IMCR‐based protocols not only mediate the ring‐closing step, but also allow for the incorporation of one or more components as diversity elements into the final product, in an atom‐economical way without additional activation required. However, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are very suited for the straightforward synthesis of macrocycles endowed with a high level of diversity. The first part concentrates on IMCR‐based macrocyclizations involving a single bifunctional building block (e.g., peptides), followed by those including two bifunctional or trifunctional building blocks. Finally, it discusses the sequential IMCR‐based macrocyclization approaches.
