An efficient approach to rigid tricyclic nitrogen heterocycles via sequential and tandem Ugi/intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) cycloaddition of pyrrole is described. The one-pot Ugi four-component condensation (4CC) reaction was used as the key transformation to prepare trienes with a carboxamide substituent

Photo-crosslinked networks were prepared from fumaric acid monoethyl ester-functionalized poly(D,L-lactic acid) oligomers and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. Two model proteins, lysozyme and albumin, were incorporated into the network films as solid particles and their release behavior was studied. By varying the NVP content

Polymer networks were prepared by photocross-linking fumaric acid monoethyl ester (FAME) functionalized, three-armed poly(D,L-lactide) oligomers using N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) as diluent and comonomer. The use of NVP together with FAME-functionalized oligomers resulted in copolymerization at high rates, and networks with gel
