Abstract

There has been a long-standing desire in preparative chemistry to avoid wastage, to substitute benign chemicals for toxic ones, and to use solvent-free reactions. Multicomponent reactions have proved to be notably successful in generating products in a single synthetic operation [1, 2]. The development of new MCRs [3] and improvement of known multicomponent reactions are an area of considerable current interest. One such reaction is the synthesis of ...
