Abstract

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) involving three or more components have good pot, atom and step economy. There are dozens of well-known MCRs in literature. Selective examples of newly introduced MCRs, high–order MCRs, MCRs followed by post-condensation modifications, and consecutive MCRs are presented in this chapter.
