The Biginelli reaction, a three-component cyclocondensation reaction, is an important member of the multicomponent reaction (MCR) family. The Biginelli reaction is so efficient and shares many similar properties as the recent click reactions. In this chapter, we summarised the current applications of the Biginelli reaction in polymer chemistry including polymer coupling, post polymer modification, and new functional polymer synthesis. We expect this ‘old’ reaction (>120 years) can draw attention from polymer chemists and play new roles in the polymer science.
