Multicomponent reactions are a promising, hot field of chemistry, since they allow complicated molecules to be created using one reaction in a fast, efficient and timesaving manner.
In the very first book on this topic, the expert editors and authors present a comprehensive overview of these elegant reactions.
From the contents:

* Multicomponent Reactions with Organoboron Compounds
* Free-Radical Mediated Multicomponent Coupling Reactions
* Applications of Multicomponent Reactions in Drug Discovery
* The Discovery of New Isocyanide Based Multicomponent Reactions
* Metal catalyzed Multicomponent Reactions
* Multicomponent Reactions in the Total Synthesis of Natural Products
* Asymmetric Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions
* The Biginelli reaction
* Asymmetric Isocyanide-Based Multicomponent Reactions
* The Domino-Knoevenagel-Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction and Related Transformations
* Catalytic Asymmetric Multicomponent Reactions
* Algorithm Based Methods for the Discovery of Novel Multicomponent Reactions
* Post-condensation Modifications of the Passerini and Ugi Reactions

An essential reference for organic and catalytic chemists, and those working in organometallics - both in academia and industry.
