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.
