In the very first book on this hot topic, the expert editors and authors present a comprehensive overview of these elegant reactions. From the contents: 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 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.
