Presents a comprehensive overview of multicomponent reactions. This book covers: Organoboron compounds; Free radical mediated multicomponent coupling reactions; Applications in drug discovery; Metal catalyzed reactions; Total synthesis of natural products; Asymmetric isocyanide based reactions; and, Asymmetric isocyanide based reactions.

In the very first book on this hot topic, the expert editors and authors present a comprehensive overview of these elegant reactions. The contents include: Organoboron compounds; Free radical mediated multicomponent coupling reactions; Applications in drug discovery; Metal catalyzed reactions; Total synthesis of natural products; Asymmetric isocyanide based reactions; The Biginelli reaction; Asymmetric isocyanide based reactions; The Domino Knoevenagel Hetero Diels Alder Reaction and related transformations; Catalytic asymmetric reactions; Algorithm based methods for discovering novel reactions; and, Post condensation modifications of the Passerini and Ugi reactions. This is an essential reference for organic and catalytic chemists, and those working in organometallics both in academia and industry.
