Multicomponent reactions are a promising, hot field of chemistry, since they allow complicated molecules to be created using one reaction in a fast, efficient and timesaving manner.In the very first book on this topic, the expert editors and authors present a comprehensive overview of these elegant reactions.From the contents: * Multicomponent Reactions with Organoboron Compounds * Free-Radical Mediated Multicomponent Coupling Reactions * Applications of Multicomponent Reactions in Drug Discovery * The Discovery of New Isocyanide Based Multicomponent Reactions * Metal catalyzed Multicomponent Reactions * Multicomponent Reactions in the Total Synthesis of Natural Products * Asymmetric Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions * The Biginelli reaction * Asymmetric Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions * The Domino-Knoevenagel-Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction and Related Transformations * Catalytic Asymmetric Multicomponent Reactions * Algorithm Based Methods for the Discovery of Novel Multicomponent 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.
