Diversity oriented syntheses of conventional heterocycles by smart multi component reactions (MCRs) of the last decade

Molecules. 2012 Jan 20;17(1):1074-102. doi: 10.3390/molecules17011074.

Abstract

A collection of smart multicomponent reactions (MCRs) with continuative post condensation cyclizations (PCCs) is presented to construct conventional three- to seven-membered heterocyclic compounds in diversity oriented syntheses (DOS). These will provide a high degree of applying economical and ecological advantages as well as of practicability. Water, ionic liquids, and solvent-less syntheses as well as use of various forms of energy as microwave and ultrasonic irradiation are examined and discussed.
