Popis: The nitroaldol reaction is demonstrated as an efficient dynamic covalent reaction in phosphate buffers at neutral pH. Rapid equilibration was recorded with pyridine-based aldehydes, and dynamic oligomerization could be achieved, leading to nitroaldol dynamers of up to 17 repeating units. The dynamers were applied in a coherent stimuli-responsive molecular system in which larger dynamers transiently existed out-of-equilibrium in a neutral aqueous system rich in formaldehyde, controlled by nitromethane.
