Multicomponent Reactions

Addressing a dynamic aspect of organic chemistry, this book describes synthetic strategies and applications for multicomponent reactions – including key routes for synthesizing complex molecules. •    Illustrates the crucial role and the important utility of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) to organic syntheses •    Compiles novel and efficient synthetic multicomponent procedures to give readers a complete picture of this class of organic reactions •    Helps readers to design efficient and practical transformations using multicomponent reaction strategies •    Describes reaction background, applications to synthesize complex molecules and drugs, and reaction mechanisms

Raquel P. Herrera, PhD, is Tenured Scientist of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the ISQCH-University of Zaragoza. Her research interests are focused on asymmetric organocatalysis and its applications. Eugenia Marqués-López, PhD, is an assistant professor at the University of Zaragoza. She performs her research on new catalytic methods, mainly based on asymmetric organocatalysis at the Institute of Chemical Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis (ISQCH-CSIC).
