| Abstract: | The highly modular Ugi four‐component reaction (Ugi‐4CR) was used to directly obtain polymers of high molar mass bearing aromatic residues in the backbone. By using at least two bifunctional monomers, the Ugi‐4CR can be employed to synthesize polymers through a polycondensation under mild conditions in the absence of catalysts. This highly versatile approach allows the creation of vast libraries of molecules by a comparably small pool of compounds. We investigated the six different possible types of the Ugi four‐component polymerization (Ugi‐4CP) to generate polyamides using commercially available monomers without further purification. After substantial adjustments of reaction parameters, we were able to obtain a polymer of high molar mass, albeit only for one out of the six types of the Ugi‐4CP. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
