Abstract

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) by virtue of their convergence, productivity, facile execution and generally high yields of products have attracted considerable attention from the point of view of combinatorial chemistry. 1 The first MCR was described by Strecker in 1850 for the synthesis of amino acids. 2 However, in the past decade there have been tremendous developments in three- and four-component reactions and great efforts have been and still are being made ...
