Addressing a dynamic aspect of organic chemistry, this book describes synthetic strategies and applications for multicomponent reactions – including key routes for synthesizing complex molecules. • Illustrates the crucial role and the important utility of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) to organic syntheses • Compiles novel and efficient synthetic multicomponent procedures to give readers a complete picture of this class of organic reactions • Helps readers to design efficient and practical transformations using multicomponent reaction strategies • Describes reaction background, applications to synthesize complex molecules and drugs, and reaction mechanisms

In the very first book on this hot topic, the expert editors and authors present a comprehensive overview of these elegant reactions. From the contents: Organoboron compounds Free-radical mediated multicomponent coupling reactions Applications in drug discovery Metal catalyzed reactions Total synthesis of natural products Asymmetric isocyanide-based reactions The Biginelli reaction Asymmetric isocyanide-based reactions The Domino-Knoevenagel-Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction and related transformations Catalytic asymmetric reactions Algorithm based methods for discovering novel reactions Post-condensation modifications of the Passerini and Ugi reactions An essential reference for organic and catalytic chemists, and those working in organometallics both in academia and industry.
