Multicomponent Reactions for the Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds: A Review

TLDR
The aim of this review is to present the main multicomponent reactions since the original report by Strecker in 1850 from nowadays, covering their evolution, highlighting their significance in the discovery of new bioactive compounds.
Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are composed of three or more reagents in which the final product has all or most of the carbon atoms from its starting materials. These reactions represent, in the medicinal chemistry context, great potential in the research for new bioactive compounds, since their products can present great structural complexity. The aim of this review is to present the main multicomponent reactions since the original report by Strecker in 1850 from nowadays, covering their evolution, highlighting their significance in the discovery of new bioactive compounds. The use of MCRs is, indeed, a growing field of interest in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and approved drugs, with several examples of commerciallyavailable drugs that are (or can be) obtained through these protocols.

An Updated Review on the Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Molecular Hybrids and Conjugates Bearing Imidazole Moiety.

TL;DR: In this review, significant attention was paid to summarise the strategies used to overcome the antibiotic resistance of pathogens whose infections are difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics, but this review does not include literature data on the synthesis and evaluation of the bioactivity of hybrids and conjugates in which an imidazole moiety is fused with a carbo- or heterocyclic subunit.

Multicomponent Reactions with Isocyanides.

TL;DR: MCRs and especially MCRs with isocyanides offer many opportunities to attain new reactions and basic structures, however, this requires that the chemist learns the "language" of M CRs, something that this review wishes to stimulate.

Asymmetric multicomponent reactions (amcrs): the new frontier

TL;DR: Asymmetric multicomponent reactions involve the preparation of chiral compounds by the reaction of three or more reagents added simultaneously and has some advantages over classic divergent reaction strategies, such as lower costs, time, and energy, as well as environmentally friendlier aspects.

Multiple-Component Condensation Strategies for Combinatorial Library Synthesis

TL;DR: This Account focuses on multiple-component condensations (MCCs) as one subset of strategies for the generation of compound libraries, and it is instructive to contrast this approach with linear synthesis to highlight the differences in methods, potential library size, and output format.
