Abstract

Here we report the simultaneous formation of doubly and triply dynamic libraries as a result of exchange reactions between functionalized organic building blocks. A combination of three different reversible covalent linkages involving a boronate ester transesterification along with an imine and disulfide exchange was employed to generate a new type of fully organic triply dynamic molecular assembly.
